AMAZING TALES OF THE
PARANORMAL |
A
well known celebrity who is also
governor of a large, sunny state on the
west coast, made a deal with the
publisher of two bodybuilding magazines
"to further the business
objectives" of the publisher, in
exchange for 1% of their advertising
revenues, mostly from vitamin
supplements, a deal estimated to be worth $8 million
to the governor. Soon after signing the
deal, the same governor had a
bill cross his desk regulating, and in
some cases banning the use of those same
vitamin supplements. Amazingly, the
governor vetoed the bill! |
