Ok, but why are this guys political views any more important than any other smuck’s views. What else has he done besides give 13K for a good cause? And how do you know he’s a liberal? does he post here on FR and that is why?
Probably too much to list here, of the giving that is publicly known. For years, every year I've heard of some large donation King has given to fund some public good in Maine, some millions to build a public swimming pool, millions to the university, millions to a library, building a little league stadium, fixing up YMCAs, giving scholarships, etc. And he doesn't want the facilities he funded to be named after him either.
I don't agree with his politics, which are well-known if you'd heard his public statements, and I don't like that he also gives to liberal causes. But nobody can doubt his generosity towards his fellow Maine residents.
