HYPOCRITE OF THE HIGHEST ORDER: Polis Makes Profit On Fracking, Sues Neighbor For Doing Same (CO )
Colorado Peak Politics ^ | July 29, 2013

Congressman Polis hates fracking, but his investment adviser doesn’t.

Last week Congressman Jared Polis sued his neighbor to stop them from drilling on their own property, because it “caused a loss of enjoyment” on his million dollar vacation home in Weld County. The suit has since been withdrawn to give Polis and his lawyers more time to gather evidence.

In the meantime it’s worth exploring the evidence that Polis is a hypocrite of the highest order — suing to stop his neighbor from profiting from the very same industry in which Polis profits with personal investments.

Based on Polis’s 2011 financial disclosure form (he still hasn’t filed his 2012 form), Polis has between $1 million and $5 million invested in the oil and gas industry.

And of course, you need to dig to find his political party affiliation, which means he’s a Dem.

Not In My Back Yard, or NIMBY I have heard of, but with the new no rule of law Congress, I guess Not In Your Back Yard Either or NIMBYE is in vogue.

Let the Congress man take all his profits and buy out his neighbor’s expected profits and land costs.

I bet within a year the arsehole is drilling his new well.
