Revealed Lobby Payments Tied to Power Projects
Washington based Universal Service reporter A. L. Kenion discloses a decade of lobbying by major power firms to influence federal policy and hydroelectric projects. The first installment links a single company to paying $300,000 to three lobbyists and hints at undisclosed contributions from others, with costs passed to taxpayers and ratepayers. The Alabama Power Company figures prominently in the probe, along with figures like Henry J. Pierce and Mitchell Dam licenses, as regulators weigh charges and disclosures.
