I am making a series of posts meant to expose the under handed dealings of elected Republicans to Congress and various state governor’s offices that most Republican voters already knew about but still voted to elect them anyway. John Boozman – Arkansas Boozmans views echo those of oil and gas lobbying groups. The fossil fuel industry contributed $87,402 to his campaign since 2009. Those lobbyists for dirty industries must have been pleased with Boozmans outspoken support for expanding offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and opening up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to exploitation. With seats on two key Senate environmental committees, Boozman is in a good position to push the oil and gas industrys agenda. He has voted to continue subsidizing wealthy oil companies while also reducing their corporate income taxes. He is also currently pushing hard to block the EPA from reducing dangerous carbon pollution from power plants, even co-sponsoring a resolution to do so. His voting record reads like a hit list on the environment. Thats why his lifetime score with the League of Conservation Voters is a miserable 8 percent. In addition to catering to big oil, Boozman also caters to Walmart. You have to understand however that Walmart headquarters is in Boozman’s district. The following article will provide information on how Boozman has accomplished this. progress.org/tpr/corporate-welfare-scandal-hits-wal-mart/
