Were Carbon-Tax Meetings Secret? Maybe Not

July 25, 2012

A right-wing blog has rung the alarm about "secret" meetings on a proposed carbon tax — the same one we read about in the papers.

The blog "Right Side News" took a shot at a meeting hosted by the American Enterprise Institute — "a secret, four-and-a-half hour meeting of pols, wonks, and activists, including several self-identified 'progressives,' to develop a PR/legislative strategy to promote and enact a carbon tax."

The matter, not so secret, had been covered in several articles in E&E News publications.
