Reply #16: 300 million saved .... without Spam [View All]

"So the banks pushed the city into default and Kucinich lost his next re-election bid because of First Energy's greed. Oh, yes, greed. Because in the 1990s, the people of Cleveland woke up to the fact that Dennis Kucinich had saved them all a ton of money. In 1998, the Cleveland City Council honored him for "having the courage and foresight to refuse to sell the city's municipal electric system," saying he had saved Clevelanders more than 300 million -- that 300 million that they would have paid to CEI if Kucinich had caved in. But he didn't. That doesn't seem to be his style."
