Georgia Lawmakers Took $900 For Tobacco Plant Tour
Two Georgia congressmen Rep. Doug Barnard and Rep. Elliott Levitas said they received $900 honorariums for touring the Brown and Williamson Tobacco Co plant in Macon and briefing officials. Knight-Ridder reported the visits occurred before Christmas amid new ethics rules limiting fees. The lawmakers described the tour as a general invitation to meet executives and discuss national issues, with briefing books provided on industry concerns. The plant, producing about 3000 cigarettes daily, plans to employ around 2000 eventually, as tobacco policy faces health and tax debates.
