If this is not corruption, you have to tell me what is?
U.S standards are difficult to match

Good Grief
Senator Joe Manchin’s stock in Enersystems, Inc. is worth $5 million. “Since 2010, when Manchin was elected to the Senate, the company has paid him more than $5 million, disclosure records show”.
Grant Town Power Plant in West Virginia submitted a proposal to the state government last week.
The plant’s owner wants to “burn a mix of discarded shale, clay and slurry dug out of nearby coal mines that closed years ago.”
Enersystems makes money by selling “waste coal piled up outside two shuttered mines.”
Joe Manchin’s defense
He is not directly involved in Enersystems, and his investments are held in a blind trust run by his son.
