For the people of East Chicago.

What are the risks of an earthquake beneath a reactor near you? This image combines a 2006map by the United States Geological Survey showing varying seismic hazards across the U.S. with locations of nuclear reactors. Reactors in black are active; reactors in blue are proposed sites for the new model known as the AP1000. Probability of strong shaking increases from very low (white), to moderate (blue, green, and yellow), to high (orange, pink, and red). Credit: Kimberly Leonard/Center for Public Integrity.

Evan Bayh is an astute student of capitalism. He knows how to maximize profits and influence. And now this recent retiree of the Senate has a clear strategy for getting rich as a lobbyist with McGuireWoods LLP and maximizing his utility as a conservative television pundit with FOX.

Many in NWI and East Chicago fashion themselves as a moderate after Evan Bayh.
