Bottom line, and you know this, is Lynch greatly benefitted from Kimmy refusing to force Tysons to enact Covid safety measures.You could limit it to Iowa and/or the Midwest and you'd still be laughably incorrect. Lynch is a small operator compared to who Tyson buys the majority of their product from.
Why would it kill me that he bought influence? That is what people do with money do and Reynolds is as buyable as one can be.
Corruption from people like Reynolds and Lynch is a big deal in a small State like Iowa. It's newsworthy because Iowa politics should be better than that.
Regarding Pollards/ISU's connection to Lynch... maybe ISU is in no position to be picky about who they do business with. And I suspect it gets worse if Cloneville is left out of the B1G.
