Has Suzanne Anton gone on record in saying her campaign chairman and fund raiser Peter Armstrong who runs a railway, will not be allowed to have his company bid on Suzanne's streetcar? <br /><br />ie conflict of interest and prevention of crony capitalism?<br /><br />To be clear I'm not accusing him of doing anything like that. I just want her to go public that specific insider crony capitalism won't be allowed if she wins and I haven't seen anyone asking that questionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-12695941390085673492011-11-15T15:58:48.247-08:002011-11-15T15:58:48.247-08:00Just consider the occupy site as a spent shell cas...Just consider the occupy site as a spent shell casing ... the purpose of the occupy was to raise awareness of corporate greed, unfair taxation and the like, and in that sense it was a huge success.<br /><br />I forget the cliche, (something about putting toothpaste back in a tube or an elephant in the room or something) but the occupy movement has served its purpose well.<br /><br />The revolution has begun and there is no stopping it ...Rusty Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265122988353577820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-11383726302206639902011-11-15T15:56:18.557-08:002011-11-15T15:56:18.557-08:00"The problems will sort themselves out.
