Wal-Mart's Donations
City Comptroller Bill Thompson reintroduced a shareholder resolution today calling on Wal-Mart to disclose its policy for using corporate money for political contributions.
"Corporate executives should not feel free to use their company assets to advance any political objectives that are not shared by shareholders and the entire company. We are urging these companies to support this important critical governance reform," Thompson said in a release.
Clearly, the wrath of the New York Post hasn't shaken him.

What about the shareholder money that Kroll contributed to Spitzer while Cherkasky was President (b4 he became Pres of Marsh McLennan at Spitzer's "suggestion")? Where was the shareholder outrage then?
what about the political contributions to Thompson's campaign by his current vendors? Do we see anything wrong with that?
