Part of the management team of Abound Solar is the Democrat’s nephew, Russell Kanjorski. But a campaign spokesman said the congressman did not have any part in the awarding of the loan commitment.
A Colorado-based solar panel manufacturer for which the nephew of U.S. Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski, D-11, Nanticoke, is vice president of marketing has received a $400 million loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The loan commitment to Abound Solar Manufacturing - announced by President Barack Obama during his July 3 weekly radio address - is to increase solar panel production at an existing plant in Colorado and build a second plant in Indiana that will create more than 1,200 jobs, a company statement said.

Russell Kanjorski made headlines, along with his siblings, in 2002 when a company they owned received as much as $9 million in federal grants that their uncle helped obtain.
That company, Plains Twp.-based Cornerstone Technologies, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2006.

Russell Kanjorski, the vice president for marketing at Abound Solar, was one of the principals in another energy company in northeast Pennsylvania, called Cornerstone Technologies LLC, which attracted $9 million in federal grants before it halted operations in 2003 and later filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
And to think that Duke Cunningham went to jail for taking some freebies from lobbyists.
Some good news: China’s major industries are financed by state stimulus money, their own big bubble that is just about to burst. Ha Ha Ha!
Longtime lobbyist Denny Miller McBee was a big campaign donor of Patty Murray, and Dicks. In 2002, Denny’s son, who once worked for Dicks, opens a company called (Steve) McBee Strategic Consulting along with Jennifer Noland (who worked for Dicks and Patty Murray), and it took off. They had to hire more staff - most of them worked for Dicks/Murray. They expanded and the firm’s president of Northwest operations turns out to be Rick Desimone - Murray’s former chief of staff. The father, Denny Miller McBee and well-known lobbyist, is documented for business with government as Denny Miller McBee, yet the McBee is dropped by the MSM, almost like they want to hide that they’re related. If I hadn’t known Denny was the dad, I would have missed the connection.
“Murray has dipped into M-PAC to support a host of Democratic candidates and groups. Recipients include Reid, the Senate majority leader; Senate Policy Chairman Sen. Byron Dorgan; and the political-action committee of Planned Parenthood.”
These older articles back-up some of what we’ve found:

Dig into Nicks and Murray and I think a connection with Reid and Pelosi can be found. It’s big-time cronyism and with OUR money. Dicks and Murray must be investigated.
PS: Patty Murray must be well-connected with planned parenthood since she dips into M-PAC to help them out. One wonders what little scam is going on there...
