From The Washington Post Blog report, background on the victim:

Progress Energy, where [Ashley] Turton worked as a regulatory affairs analyst, released this statement from CEO Bill Johnson: Ashley was a valued employee whose insight and hard work had been critical on so many of our legislative and regulatory issues. She was also a dear friend to many of us and this news is very hard to take. I know we all will keep her husband, children and parents in our thoughts and prayers. Today is an eventful day for us as employees of Progress Energy. Ashley's tragic death reminds us all to keep perspective in all things.

Progress Energy is a regional power company. On the Board of Directors at Progress sits Mel Martinez, former RINO Senator from Florida. Not drawing any connections, it's just background. A lot of DC linkage it seems. Also the husband has been a DC insider for many many years.

“Progress Energy”

Boy, just saying the name of it makes ya feel “green” all over doesn’t it?

Let me guess, they’re heavily invested in wind and solar, right?

“CEO BILL JOHNSON” - as in Fannie/Freddie, as in potential VP pick for 0,—that is a very interesting connection...
