I'm doing a bunch of research on Republican Gordon Smith, seeing as I'm in the Northwest these days. I've been through his financial disclosure forms, and there are some oddities there I'll get into shortly. Smith owns a frozen food company called 'Smith Frozen Foods', and it appears he's taken out a mortgage of unspecified amount from that company for land worth $10. It's very odd. I'll have more on Smith's company soon, but note that it has a terrible record of safety violations.
623 Workers' Compensation Claims were filed against Smith's companies, with 11 of the accepted workers' compensation claims being "amputations." It's a disgusting place which consistently exposes employees to dangerous chemicals and an overall toxic environment. And the company is completely interwoven with Smith's personal finances.
