I'd be investigating Spitzer for some clandestine ownership in a CO2 trading scheme.
I wouldn't put it past this mob-like figure to be using government policy to bring business to "Cousin Vinny's" company.
A guy like that probably thinks he can get away with imposing a CO2 scam on everyone in NY.
If he were a tad younger he'd been pushing Laetrile as a surefire cure for cancer.
