Here is a fascinating blast from the past. It took a court order but now it is clear that mega-lobbyist Don Beason — he of the secret $500K loan to then Speaker Jim Black — was also secretly on the payroll of foreign steel manufacturers.
Made me recall the dust-up involving the construction of the McCrory Line which was built under strict federal buy-American rules. A contractor sued a subcontractor it claimed used Canadian steel for the project. Don’t know whatever became of all that.
