It’s a tuna takedown. On Thursday, the Justice Department announced that food company StarKist Co. could pay a fine of as much as $100 million after pleading guilty to fixing prices on canned tuna from 2011 through at least 2013. StarKist, which has agreed to cooperate with the investigation, is the second company to plead guilty in this case: Bumble Bee did so last year and was fined $25 million for participating in the fishy conspiracy. The extent of the conspiracy, and the effect on consumers, has not been disclosed, but that does not change this core truth: the scheme is nothing short of an affront to Americans everywhere who like fish but not cooking.

You can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish............
This is Nan Pelosi’s racket.
Uh-oh.
I eat a lot of fish, but his makes me wonder exactly what I have been eating from the tuna cans.

What is Nancy Pelosi’s connection with StarKist Tuna and Tax breaks ?
Was he family's firm exempt from paying certain taxes due to her position?
Can someone spell it out for me? I seem to have forgotten.
Best Answer: Starkist’s Corporate Offices are in her District in San Farncisco.During the debate for a Minimum Wage hike,one of the areas where they would not get a hike in the Minimum Wage was American Samoa,which conveniently would save Starkist Millions per year.In other words,she kept workers from getting higher wages,in order to do a favor for a Corporation,who also happens to be a significant Campaign Contributor for her I believe.
(and)
..... and her husband, Paul, owns $17 million dollars of stock in starkist. That's politics for you..
“This is Nan Pelosi’s racket.”

Heh. There was a girl in my junior English class who was called “Tuna”.

Who are the recipients of these fines? Bureaucrats and lawyers? How does this reduce the price of tuna?
Make them go back to full size cans again, too!

Snopes and “fact” check are quite kind to her, of course.
If they committed crimes ripping off consumers, punish them by making them discount the price of tuna for consumers.
Jerry : You know chicken salad is not the opposite of tuna, salmon is the opposite of tuna, ‘cos salmon swim against the current, and the tuna swim with it.
George : Good for the tuna.
Ever wonder why tuna cans and cat food cans ARE SIMILAR?...............
Wonder what ever happened with the Hunters Point property thingy, involving Pelosi, Murtha and Gorbachev...
