Assemblyman Sam Blakeslee got an all-expenses-paid vacation worth $1,985.71 so he could speak at the 2007 SEG Conference.


Major sponsors of SEG’s event that year included BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil and Shell.


In fact, Exxon used the event to announce providing $1 million in funding to SEG.


On another occasion, oil company BHP Billiton was nice enough to take Assemblyman Blakeslee out to both lunch and dinner.


With over $2,000 in gifts from Big Oil, is it any wonder he carries their (oily) water for them?
