Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 www.gristmagazine.com/muck/muck012104.asp?source=daily Spin Cycle Industry flaks learn how to snooker the public with their not-so-eco-friendly messages by Amanda Griscom 21 Jan 2004 This morning, some 50 people powwowed in the chandeliered Ticonderoga conference room of the Hyatt Regency hotel on Capitol Hill for a conference entitled "Environmental Issues 2004: How to Get Results in an Election Year." There weren't more than a handful of environmentalists in attendance -- perhaps because the conference was hosted by the National Association of Manufacturers, known to be one of the most anti-environment industry groups in the country. The great attraction of the affair (which cost up to $150 a head) was its keynote speaker -- not an industry kingpin, not a bigwig GOP pollster like Frank Luntz, but U.S. EPA Administrator Mike Leavitt.
