AG to AFL-CIO: Back off so stimulus money can get where it’s going

Thursday, Aug. 27, 2009 | 5:15 p.m.

A couple of days after the AFL-CIO, apparently shilling for Democratic legislators, tried to stop energy stimulus money from being spent by the Gibbons administration, the attorney general's office has sent the umbrella union group a stinging letter. The missive essentially says the AFL misinterpreted a health insurance provision and should not delay the program. The AFL-CIO announced today it is backing off.

And once again it appears as if the Democrats and their allies tried to delay stimulus money from being spent. The AG letter is at right.
