05/16/2008: "Documents link wind farm foes to energy firm"

A new lobbying firm for the group opposing a wind farm off Cape Cod filed a federal document last month reporting that its work for the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound is partially funded and shaped by an international energy conglomerate.

The Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound immediately decried the filing as a mistake, and the lobbying firm later amended it in the US Senate Office of Public Records to eliminate the reference to Oxbow.

"They have their own money," said Brad Goldstein, Oxbow's corporate communications director, who said he would not consider his company to be directly involved in the group's lobbying.

[ Indirectly then - eg. give the money to a middleman first. ]
