Charlie and the Flip Flop Factory

Remember when, in his 2008 campaign for Lt. Governor, Charlie Copeland said that he would crack down on polluters?

And remember when, when Valero closed in 2009, Charlie Copeland blamed it on people who cracked down on polluters?

We wonder what he thinks today, when the people he blamed for Valero shutting down have facilitated a “miraculous” reopening of that refinery, creating 600 new jobs, while at the same time reducing pollution?

Perhaps, like in 2008, he will take credit for it, like he did with Bluewater Wind after spending months trying to derail the project.
