Democrats engage in an astonishing amount of
corruption. The EPA grants money to
environmental groups. These activists
then sue and settle with the EPA and behold, this federal agency has just
expanded its power. Unbelievable!
Progressives at the state level have taken
notice. Government bureaucrats are
colluding with special interest groups in quid pro quo agreements. Administrators and their employees will
advance an agenda for an advocacy group, a liberal one, of course, while the latter
provides political and financial support.
An Oregon baker has fallen prey to the machinations
of corrupt public officials and their progressive thugs. A lesbian couple went on a hunt for a Christian
bakery hoping a business owner would refuse to participate in their gay
wedding. They found one and ran him out
of business. But that’s not the complete
story. A commissioner in the Oregon
Bureau of Labor and Industries colluded with these lesbians in exchange for
campaign donations and political support.
The Daily Signal reported on this whole sordid
affair. Here is an excerpt:
Communications between Bureau of Labor and Industries
Commissioner Brad Avakian and Basic Rights Oregon, which has actively spoken
out against the Kleins, raise questions about whether the commissioner and
other agency employees were using the case to benefit a political agenda, and
in the process, stripping the Kleins of their right to a fair trial.
According
to emails, Avakian met with Basic Rights Oregon on multiple occasions.
One
of those meetings was planned for May 1, 2014, shortly before a federal court
struck down Oregon’s Defense of Marriage Act.
Another
meeting between the commissioner and Basic Rights Oregon occurred on or around
August 5, 2014. This fell between the time a judge denied the Kleins’ first
attempt to disqualify the commissioner for bias and shortly before a hearing
for the case was scheduled to begin
On or around Oct. 7, 2014, Avakian accepted a phone call from
Jeana Frazzini, co-director of Basic Rights Oregon, according to another email.
On
Dec. 2, 2014, a Basic Rights Oregon employee wrote of Avakian, “His voice is
really important as a coalition partner, and a leader in Oregon politics.”
Emails
also show Avakian purchasing tickets costing hundreds of dollars to attend
Basic Rights Oregon’s annual fundraising galas and gay pride parades, while his
agency’s case against the Kleins was underway.
In
2012, Basic Rights Oregon donated almost $8,000 to
Avakian’s bid for commissioner
It gets even better!
The judge adjudicating this case was appointed by that agency’s commissioner:
Brad Avakian. Surprise – surprise, that bureau’s judge
refused the defendants request for an investigation into questionable ethics
violations.
Oh, we can’t leave out the media! This same government agency, along with its
gay advocacy group, was communicating with the local newspaper editor. They are all in cahoots!
Aren’t you happy that you don’t live in Oregon?
