2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: WV Exit Polls: 44% of Sanders voters are Trump supporters [View all]puffy socks
(1,473 posts)so you've all said again and again.
Sanders is making money from his vote.
Talk about a conflict of interest. Nice way to treat poor Latinos.
"The Sanders have partially released their 2014 tax return and on the return, Jane Sanders is still drawing a salary as an alternate commissioner for the Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Compact Commission. (TLLRWD Commissioner)
This is the commission that oversaw the Sierra Blanca dump site, that Sanders voted for and also voted to strip out the Wellstone amendment in conference.
The Wellstone amendment would have given legal recourse to this mostly poor Latino community to fight the placement of this waste dump, if they could prove environmental racism. The compact was passed, with vigorous help from Sanders. Later and fortunately the dump was scuttled by the state of Texas.
This is just for 2014. Mrs. Sanders could have been drawing a salary for years and unless they release more tax returns we'll never know for sure."
