Nepo Lobbyist’s ‘Shill Oil Company’ Had Senate President Daddy’s Help Killing Emissions Enforcement
['Ted Cohen']
The Maine Wire
– Troy JacksonChace Jackson, the son of then-Maine Senate president Troy Jackson, now the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate, successfully fought environmental regulations while his father was in charge of counting votes.
That according to the Washington Free Beacon, which reports that Maine Senate Dems apparently helped Troy lobby for an oil company under fire for supposedly violating emissions rules at its oil-storage depots.
Young Jackson the lobbyist was working on behalf of Global Partners, state records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.
He was up against a pair of bills requiring state environmental police to keep oil emissions in check.
But an inspection bill subjecting Global Partners to air-quality testing died in the Troy Jackson-controlled Senate.
