Coal Group Reveals 6 More Forged Lobbying Letters On the coal group's behalf, Hawthorn hired Bonner and Associates. In all, the coal group estimated, Bonner and Associates was responsible for 46 or 47 letters that were sent to Congress. On Monday, officials at the pro-coal group said they had sought to speak with all the groups whose names were forged, as well as all three congressional offices that received the letters. The House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming has said it would investigate the letters. The climate bill approved by the House did not include the price guarantee the pro-coal group had sought. Legislation is still pending in the Senate. In the House, Perriello voted for the bill. Both Dahlkemper and Carney voted against it. A spokesman for Carney did not respond to calls for comment by Tuesday afternoon. A spokesman for Dahlkemper said the letters "did not have undue influence" on her decision. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/04/AR2009080402223.html?referrer=emailarticle |
