The Shaming Corporate Interests because of shameless environmental destruction meta thread

Featured Replies

Nobody in the Hill Country wants the Kinder Morgan pipeline. Rich oilmen do.  City of Austin has now joined the fray.  Should be interesting to see if the monied interests win in the end.

The "Acting" Bureau of Land Management chief, William Perry Pendley, has deep financial ties to a law group that represents corporate polluters and he's been an anti-public lands zealot for many  years now, advocating the sale of public lands to private interests that would trash them and then leave them.  Mind you,  Pendley is the one who scorned the "deep state"  and "Pocahontas"  etc...

but newly disclosed documents show his financial ties to some of those interests will last a lifetime.

A copy of William Perry Pendley's financial disclosure report, filed with the Office of Government Ethics in late August, details his fiscal relationship with the nonprofit Mountain States Legal Foundation, where he served as president until early December 2018 (Greenwire, Jan. 29).

The report, provided to E&E News by the Montana-based Western Values Project, shows Pendley was paid a $224,000 "salary" before he left the foundation. He was scheduled to receive an additional $324,000 payment on or before Sept. 12.

In addition, Pendley is set to receive an unspecified "lifelong payment" from the law firm as part of a charitable gift annuity. Such arrangements allow donors to transfer assets to a charity for partial tax deductions as well as a future income stream.

In his disclosure, Pendley values the annuity between $250,001 and $500,000. In exchange for stock and cash transferred to the nonprofit, Perry and his wife are scheduled to receive payments beginning in April 2025.

Pendley wrote in his financial disclosure report, triggered by his appointment as BLM's deputy director of policy and program in July, that he does not, however, have a pension or other defined benefit plan related to his work at the foundation.
