Dean raises money from energy sources
February 27, 2002

MONTPELIER — When Gov. Howard Dean wanted to raise money for a possible presidential bid, he followed the example of a former governor of Texas and called on his friends in the energy industry.

Nearly a fifth of the roughly $111,000 collected in its first months by Dean’s presidential political action committee, the Fund for a Healthy America, came from people with ties to Vermont’s electric utilities, according to a recent Federal Elections Commission filing.

It should be no surprise. Dean and utility executives have had a long and friendly relationship...

Dumont contended that while the campaign contributions have helped utility executives gain access to the governor, others have been cut out.

“There’s been a one-sided flow of information to the governor’s office about utility matters,” he said.

Tony Gierzynski, a political science professor at the University of Vermont and author of a book on campaign finance called “Money Rules,” said, “There’s a great imbalance in the system between those who have money and those who don’t.”

Dean a phenomenon...so was the Black Plague, The Chinese Cultural Revolution, and the rises of the fascists in the early 20th century.

Depends on what kind of phenomenon you mean.
