A story that won’t get reported in the column on the left, our current delegate Rust recently received a donation of $50,000 from, guess who – the Koch Brothers. In case you are not familiar with these guys, they are octogenarian billionaires who made their fortune in the oil business and ever since have been funding every anti-environment, climate change denying, reactionary group in the country. They were also the primary source of funds for the Tea Party. This comes as no surprise to the nearly 1500 grassroots Virginia donors to Jennifer Boysko’s campaign. You can imagine whose interests Tom Rust will be protecting if he’s allowed to return to Richmond. If you want to change Richmond, you have to change who you send to Richmond.
