Patels make big campaign contributions

Jay and Nash Patel and their wives made big campaign contributions to State Rep. Clay Ford ($1,000), State Rep. Dave Murzin ($2000) and Escambia County Commissioner Wilson Robertson ($2000). All have influence on their electric car deal in Century.

Comm. Robertson went on NewsRadio 1620 yesterday morning to complain that the News Journal had misrepresented his position on the plant and that he is for it. Strange?

Murzin serves on the House Utilities and Communications committee. Ford is on the Energy Committee. Hmmmmmm.
