Michael Bloomberg: Difference between revisions

Line 1,145:

*Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, a bit less popular now in that rather chaotic state than four years ago, has three Republicans vying for their party’s nomination to take him on. Apparently all of them are committed, if elected, to firing the “Special Assistant Attorneys General” provided Ellison by billionaire climate activist Michael Bloomberg

*That SAAG is Leigh Currie (the remaining SAAG is Peter Surdo, who boasted on his LinkedIn site he had been “embedded” in Ellison’s Office). That suit is the one that we now know was orchestrated by the Rockefeller Family Fund using local cutout greens — and a UMinn academic who rather incredibly put a memo pushing the suit, ghost co-written by “the lawyers advising Rockefeller family fund,” on University stationery — and which was held until the Bloomberg group provided the Office with the lawyers who, yes, did in fact file the suit.

*As EID Climate has noted before, Attorney General Keith Ellison currently employees two Special Assistant Attorneys General (SAAGs) who are not Minnesota state government employees, but rather have been placed in the Ellison’s office by the State Energy & Environmental Impact Center at the NYU Law School, which also pays their salaries. The center was started in 2017 thanks to a $5.6 million grant from former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the arrangement has drawn intense criticism for allowing privately-funded organizations to gain a foothold in taxpayer-funded state government offices to carry out particular agenda.

*Non-profit transparency groups Public Records Media and the Minnesota Coalition on Government Information held a press conference Wednesday to announce they filed an amicus brief with the Minnesota State Supreme Court in Energy Policy Advocates v. Ellison, a Government Data Practices Act (open records) case over emails pertaining to Ellison’s involvement in the climate litigation industry.

*That case addresses Ellison’s move to expand Minnesota law, claiming a sweeping version of “common interest” exemption to the waiver of privilege, in order to keep from the public his Office’s correspondence pertaining to multi-state progressive AG efforts to impose the climate agenda through the courts, to bring on privately hired, Michael Bloomberg financed attorneys to assist with that campaign, and to work with other third parties toward the same end.

*From records produced by the Minnesota Office of the Attorney General, Leigh Currie — an outside activist and one of two lawyers provided by a Michael Bloomberg group to file a lawsuit against energy companies — was also tasked with helping the Office’s “outreach” and media folks prep surrogates to promote the filing of that suit.
