H/T to Alex Hogan and the IBEW For This Great Find (Romney)


GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney is busy attacking "union bosses" on the campaign trail, but back in 2002 as chair of Salt Lake Winter Games Organizing Committee, Romney has nothing but nice things to say about the IBEW -- who he credits with helping to finish the Olympic Rings lighting project ahead of schedule.







Don’t forget to visit Laura’s diary:

Some good stuff there on how fraudulent the Associated Builders and Contractors, who Romney addressed, has been in how they have represented their representation in the construction industry. If only he knew they only represent less than a percent of employers.
