Kasim Reed Neglected To Tell You About The Personal/Financial Connection

You’ll want to share this with your friends.
Did you receive the most recent solicitation letter from Kasim Reed (link to latest development @ bottom)?  In the letter Reed references Tom Friedman’s column from Christmas 2010 (link @ bottom). Reed neglected to tell you about the personal/financial connection he has to Friedman. Worse, Friedman neglected to inform his readers that his wife owns considerable interest in a company called General Growth Properties. The same company Reed pushed on City Council (link @ bottom).

Reed pushed Atlanta city council to hire General Growth Properties. Under General Growth Properties, prices have soared and the vendors are now suing the city of Atlanta (link @ bottom).

Mr. Friedman’s wife (“Ann” - link @ bottom) is the daughter of Matthew Bucksbaum, former chairman of General Growth Properties. Although her father is no longer on the board the family, including Ann, owns a sizable amount of the company (link @ bottom).
