DRIP, DRIP: ROMNEY A BAIN 'MANAGING MEMBER' IN LATE '02
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/15/mitt-romney-bain-capital_n_1674209.html
WASHINGTON -- Add another document to the pile of evidence contradicting Mitt Romney's continued insistence that he ended his active role with Bain Capital in early 1999, part of his long-running effort to avoid responsibility for the company's activity, related to outsourcing and bankruptcies, during the years that followed.
A corporate document filed with the state of Massachusetts in December 2002 -- a month after Romney was elected governor -- lists him as one of two managing members of Bain Capital Investors, LLC "authorized to execute, acknowledge, deliver and record any recordable instrument purporting to affect an interest in real property, whether to be recorded with a Registry of Deeds or with a District Office of the Land Court."
In August 2011, Romney told federal authorities, as part of the financial disclosure process, that he "retired from Bain Capital on February 11, 1999 to head the Salt Lake Organizing Committee [for the 2002 Winter Olympics]. Since February 11, 1999, Mr. Romney has not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity and has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way."
Previously reported evidence shows that Romney was listed as the CEO, chairman and president of the company after 1999 in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; took a six-figure salary; signed corporate documents related to major and minor deals and attended board meetings for at least two Bain-affiliated companies. The state document was filed two and a half years after Romney now says he retired from the company, demonstrating his deep and ongoing connection to the firm.

Oh, don't be a silly goose! Romney was a member of the managing committee but he wasn't.

Excellent point about the parallel to Cheney and Halliburton. The thing that troubles me...

LOL: If corporations are people, disclosure documents are whistleblowers!

But he liked firing people. For some people, it's not about the money. It is about their dignity. nt

They're giving equal time to soulless anuses like Ed Gillespie who said he "retroactively" resigned.

He's giving it up that running something like Bain is something to be ashamed of.

As a "Manager", shouldn't he have fired himself for getting paid $$$$$$$$$ and doing nothing?
