{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Virginia’s chief environmental regulator, David Paylor, accepted lavish gifts from Dominion

Sorry to bring this up again, I probably should've shared an article that could not been seen as an opinion piece. I think the specifics about if or how to drain the ponds and under which permits is not the interesting part. The interesting part is the kickback. How can we trust DEQ? I've heard the pimento cheese sandwiches at the Master's are delicious, so I understand wanting to go, but come on, what was he thinking?

What follows is not opinion, it's a demonstrable fact:
"Public documents obtained by WAMU 88.5 show that in 2013, Dominion paid for David Paylor, the head of Virginia's Department of Environmental Quality to attend the Masters golf tournament in Georgia, one of the most sought-after sports tickets in the country.

The value of the trip was estimated to be $2,300, according to Paylor's 2013 financial disclosure statement. Dominion also picked up the tab for a $1,200 outing to O'Toole's, an Irish pub in Augusta that Paylor patronized along with nine others"
