âI wanted to be on the right side of history,â says GOP lobbyist May 24, 2021 5:00 AM By Megan R. Wilson
Vocal anti-Trump House Republicans Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are raking in campaign cash and garnering accolades from some lobbyists who lauded the lawmakers for taking on the former president for his alleged role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Hundreds of K Street lobbyists, lawyers, and communications professionals donated to Cheney (Wyo.), including nearly 200 who gave to her for the first time this year, according to Federal Election Commission records analyzed by Bloomberg Government. Kinzinger (Ill.) attracted almost 50 first-time lobbyist donors.

Hydro-Quebec Exploiting Legal Loophole to Influence Maine Voters

NRCM news release
March 15, 2021 (Augusta, ME) – Over the past 15 months, Hydro-Quebec has exploited a loophole in state ethics law by spending a record-breaking $10 million on a statewide political campaign aimed at persuading Maine voters to support the controversial Central Maine Power (CMP) transmission corridor.
Hydro-Quebec’s ballot measure campaign represents an unprecedented effort by a foreign government to meddle in Maine elections and has generated concern in the Maine Legislature where lawmakers will today hold a public hearing on three bills that would prevent government-owned entities or foreign nationals from engaging in Maine referenda campaigns. Hydro-Quebec, which is wholly owned by the government of Quebec, stands to make $12.4 billion from the CMP corridor proposal.
Recent arrests made by the Johnson City Police Department include:
Man facing several charges: Johnson City Police arrested Daniel Tate, 23, 932 Pardee St., last week on charges of resale of methamphetamine, evading arrest, and light law violation.
About 2:45 a.m. on March 2, officers attempted a make a traffic stop on a gold Toyota Avalon, but the driver took off and officers stopped the pursuit for safety reasons.
About five minutes after the attempted stop, officers located the vehicle at the Econo Lodge Hotel, 207 E. Mountcastle Drive. Officers spoke with hotel staff and were able to obtain a room number that was associated with the vehicle. They spoke to Tate in room 210 and he reportedly confessed to evading the traffic stop. A consent to search the room yielded approximately nine different baggies of methamphetamine, along with drug paraphernalia.
