Interesting. I gather the Chicago-based Exelon Corp. (with some 17
nuclear reactors?) wants to build a second one in Clinton, and to
that end has been showering the Republican congressman in the 15th
IL CD with cash for years. Now that Tim is safely voting against
money for war in the Mideast, maybe we can get him to vote against
nukes, too, and disappoint his corporate backers.<br>
