It’s the same old story: company manages resource, company creates useful product from that resource, company earns money for that product, politician tries to claim the money.
This time it involves four reservoirs Alcoa has off the Yadkin River and the $44 million it earns from the electricity it generates there and the politician is a Republican state senator.
?It?s not Alcoa?s water, it?s the people?s water,” said Sen. Stan Bingham, a Republican.
Maybe the senator needs to sit down with award-winning policy analyst Daren Bakst and learn about greed.
