LINCOLN — A Nebraska company founded by former congressional candidate Scott Kleeb has come under scrutiny over its ties to the friends and endeavors of former President Bill Clinton.

A recent story in the Wall Street Journal reported that the Clinton Global Initiative helped arrange a “$2 million commitment” in 2010 for Kleeb’s company, Energy Pioneer Solutions. The company works to make older houses more energy efficient, using the monthly utility savings to help the homeowners pay off the cost of property upgrades.

The Clinton Global Initiative — a subsidiary of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation — highlighted the Nebraska company at a 2010 meeting of its members in New York. The organization essentially connected Kleeb with wealthy supporters who were willing to invest their own money in his fledgling business venture.

Among those with stakes in Energy Pioneer Solutions are people with political and personal connections to the former president, the Journal reported. The article questioned the propriety of the nonprofit Clinton Global Initiative helping a private, for-profit company.

Marta and I wrote checks (met him at a fund raiser down the street from us) and used Act Blue to donate to Scott Kleeb for US Senate.
