CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: Rep. Perlmutter part owns ‘green’ bank he helped: Provision in bill would aid family members, political donor. “Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Colorado inserted a provision into the recently passed House climate change bill that would drum up business for ‘green’ banks, such as the one he has invested in and his family and a political donor helped found in San Francisco. . . . Mr. Perlmutter, a two-term Democrat, has two investments in the 3-year-old New Resource Bank, which calls itself the nation’s first green bank.”

Sounds like there’s plenty of “green” involved, all right.
