Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San Francisco.
Star-Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's home
district.
Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to
Pelosi.
Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the
Samoan work force.
Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Star-Kist
stock.
In January 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25,
Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would
not have to pay the higher wage to allow Del Monte products to be less
expensive than their competition's.
Last week when the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark
to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an 'economic
development credit in American Samoa'.
Pelosi has called the Bush Administration "CORRUPT"!
Nancy,
how do you spell "HYPOCRISY"? Try P-E-L-O-S-I!
