Editorial “Hershey Trust’s flawed strategy”* concludes “Nonetheless, the Trust’s wheeling and dealing up to this point has emitted an odor, and it doesn’t smell like chocolate.”
WATCHDOG: A wag of the tail for the editors addressing the subject, albeit it with ‘kid gloves.’ What they do not mention is the Trust has been used as a feeding trough for retired Republican officials and cohorts, a prime example being former attorney general Leon Zimmerman who took almost $500,000 a year in payments for serving on boards.
Bill Keisling has written extensively concerning Trust official corruption at NewsLanc. See: “Fixing the Hershey Trust”
