Omg I didn’t know they were eei! For years eei was a normie industry trade, we’d sue epa together. I used to go for weekly meetings of a coalition there. Then their long time ceo retired and all the people I knew were kinda forced out. And they went deep into the green. The people in charge were nuts, not just dropping our coalition but making threats about confidential stuff. It wasn’t this lady but someone who worked for her. This is the normal progression of institutional capture.
A trade association, generally moderate conservative goes from working on keeping regs reasonable and lowering costs to having radical terrorism!
