It isn't easy being green
Helena Guergis touted a green technology company to Simcoe County
officials while her husband, Rahim Jaffer, was involved in a
potentially lucrative business plan to take the firm public. Last
September, Ms. Guergis sent a letter to Tony Guergis, her cousin, a
municipal politician for Simcoe County, suggesting council consider
doing business with the recycling company – an overture, apparently,
now freighted with problematic conflict of interest issues for the
unhappy couple.
Kermit the Frog had it right: It isn't easy being green.
