Todd Shepherd Hits the Big Time
Our investigative reporter Todd Shepherd uncovered a juicy story involving Colorado’s Federico Pena (think getting to DIA). In addition to being Denver mayor in the 80′s, Pena also served in Clinton’s cabinet and is currently Obama’s national campaign co-chair. What Todd uncovered is that Pena is a partner in venture capital firm Vestar, much like Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital. Also like Bain, Pena’s firm tried to turn companies around through re-structuring and layoffs – something the Obama campaign has likened to being a “vulture” or a “vampire.” Pot meet kettle right? Anyway, the story made a huge splash in the blogosphere and eventually made its way to Rush Limbaugh – who mentioned the story on his radio show last Friday. You can find the audio clip here. We are extremely proud of Todd’s work and can’t overemphasize how important it was to get a mention on the Rush Limbaugh Show. Thanks to Rush, millions of listeners heard about Complete Colorado and Todd’s work. Thanks Rush!
