WHO IS S. GARY SNODGRASS (ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH MILLIONAIRE NUCLEAR POWERPLANT EXECUTIVE ON THE MAKE)


Claiming to be a “Thought Leader,” is registered Republican S. GARY SNODGRASS a villain?

S. GARY SNODGRASS is – a longtime nuclear powerplant corporate insider with one of the world’s worst nuclear utilities, a major serial environmental polluter that has been heavily fined for pollution (and sleeping security guards at nuclear powerplant).

GARY SNODGRASS is a former member of the Board of Directors of Commonwealth Edison; Executive Vice President and Chief of Human Resources for Commonwealth Edison, who justified paying his CEO a $16,000,000 annual salary (plus benefits that included 50 hours’ annual free personal use of corporate aircraft for himself and his family)(Rowe gives SNODGRASS a glowing recommendation on SNODGRASS’ website).

Allegedly, SNODGRASS was a source of misleading information given to older employees, resulting in class action lawsuit alleging Age Discrimination case. In Dubicz v. Commonwealth Edison Company, 377 F. 3d 787 (7th Cir. 2004), the U.S. Court of Appeals reversed the District COurt's dismisal for trial on Age Discrimination and Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) violations based upon false representations allegedly originating from SNODGRASS, to wit, that:
ComEd misled the Appellants by promising them, in the lead-up to the renegotiation of a collective bargain agreement covering union employees of ComEd, that the retirement benefits of lower-and middle-management employees would remain identical to those provided union employees. The Appellants allege that these promises were not kept and, in fact, ComEd never had any intention of keeping these promises. Employees argued that they relied on these promises to make certain decisions concerning whether to retire, continue in their current job, or seek positions that were covered by the collective bargaining agreement…. One of the documents at issue are talking points issued by Snodgrass to members of management known as "Town Hall Managers." These Town Hall Managers were expected (per Snodgrass' direction) to share the talking points with management employees, including the Appellants. It is, perhaps, more accurate to say, therefore, that the Town Hall Managers made the alleged misrepresentations contained in these talking points. It is clear, however, that the source of these talking points was Snodgrass and the Appellants' second amended complaint identifies both Snodgrass and the Town Hall Managers.
