The (Bill Dela)Hunt started with this Boston Globe piece on Saturday:
Delahunt, champion of wind project, now may profit from it
In Congress, he helped Hull secure $1.7m; as consultant, he’s in line for no-bid contract
As a congressman, William D. Delahunt helped Hull win $1.7 million in federal earmarks for an offshore energy program.
Now, a year after the Quincy Democrat left office, his new consulting firm stands to receive $72,000 from the same pot of money under a no-bid contract Hull has offered for strategic guidance on the project.

Lobbyist Helps a Project He Financed in Congress
WASHINGTON — Soon after he retired last year as one of the leading liberals in Congress, former Representative William D. Delahunt of Massachusetts started his own lobbying firm with an office on the 16th floor of a Boston skyscraper. One of his first clients was a small coastal town that has agreed to pay him $15,000 a month for help in developing a wind energy project.
Amid the revolving door of congressmen-turned-lobbyists, there is nothing particularly remarkable about Mr. Delahunt’s transition, except for one thing. While in Congress, he personally earmarked $1.7 million for the same energy project.
According to the Globe, “both sides insist there is no conflict of interest.”
According to common sense, that’s nonsense.
Campaign Outsider 
It’s too bad that Phil Johnston didn’t win that seat. By the way Gail Collins was discussing William Henry Harrison on the Dianne Rehm show today. My entry of “infinity” in the Seamus sweepstakes looks pretty good.
Another layer of irony, or corruption, will be found in Delahunt’s position as US Rep, where, for over ten years, he opposed Cape Wind (see: “Cape Wind” by Wendy Williams). Now that he’s on the gravy train, only he knows how to navigate the complex regulatory environment, he himself, helped create. Delahunt may become the poster boy for everything that Occupy and the 99% dislike. Please, do not let this matter drop.
How much is his pension worth now?
