Black Sheep of the Coors

April 28, 2008 - 10:12am

Followers of politics in California and Colorado should take a look at this piece in the Denver Post how Molson Coors, the brewing company, is keeping its distance from the right-to-work ballot initiative being championed by Jonathan Coors, nephew of Pete Coors and known to many California politcos as a well-liked aide and the tallest advance man to Gov. Schwarzenegger. The family dynamics are explored, and there's this money quote from Dan Baum, author of a book on the Coors dynasty, about how a Coors championing right-to-work is bad news for Coors: "I'm surprised they're not locking Jonathan in the trunk of a car and leaving him at long-term parking out at (Denver International Airport)." Isn't that precisely what former Schwarzenegger advisor Fred Beteta, who was Jonathan's boss in advance, used to do to the young man after a poor event?
