Talk:Gale Norton

message: The facts laid out in this section don't establish a relationship between Norton and Abramoff (or his firm). While one may very well exist / have existed, give better evidence or remove the section. Also, why does this section warrant roughly 1/3 of the entire article on Norton? Is a third of Norton's importance tied to the fact she appears in a photo with Abramoff or was the recipient of some letters the facts presented in the article never actually tie back to Abramoff?! - 69.205.121.0 20:32, 3 Mar 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You have to be kidding me, not only did she start CREA, which later became a tool for Abramoff's lobbying, she also knew Steve Giles who was being bribed by Abramoff.  She is in the middle of the entire mess, but yeah I've been meaning to add more references, I've just been busy on some other projects.  But she's one of the most corrupt women in washington, it will be pretty easy to make a case for her relationship with Jack Abramoff through reputable sources.--M4bwav 19:48, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Bias??

message: These sentences currently on the page:
In the late 1970s, she was a member of the Libertarian Party and was nearly selected as its national director in 1980. Norton has been associated with a number of groups in the "wise use" or "free-market environmentalist" movement, such as the Political Economy Research Center, of which she is a fellow. As a lawyer, Norton wrote about some industries' "right to pollute."

thread_title:  Failure to Source 

message: from the current article:
" Before being named Interior Secretary in 2001, Norton was senior counsel at Brownstein, Hyatt & Farber, P.C., a Denver-based law firm. The firm was listed with the U.S. Congress as a lobbyist for NL Industries, formerly known as National Lead Company."
So?  Why is this relevant?  What about all their other clients?  Where's the context?  It looks like a fact introduced as a POV shifter. Jackjump 14:46, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lacks context 

message: Can someone add some info regarding Norton's current employment status (according to CNN she is a lobbyist for the oil industry?) and the general direction of her department when she was the head of Interior Secretary?  This type of info is certainly relevant here.  I would add this myself but I am a terrible writer and I don't think I am completely neutral on this topic.  75.195.211.218 03:31, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Norton's tenure as Secretary of Interior 

message: The relationship between Gale Norton and Abramoff has not been established as a corrupt one, and if it has then people need to start citing sources. So, with that being said, there is no need to include a picture of her with Abramoff. It doesn't add to the article in anyway and it suggests that she was in on the scandal (which can't be proved). So, I took the liberty of deleting the photo and the line about the photo.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.134.185.138 (talk) 21:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So Gale Norton may in fact have been corrupt and believed industries had a "right to pollute" but her not being a friend of the environment is not that surprising, considering the Bush administration's skewing to the far right or the conservative-libertarian notion that environmentalism is "optional" or that "environmental groups" are "corrupt" or "flawed." 2603:6000:C305:78DF:AB6A:D3EF:D1C4:EF2E (talk) 02:31, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
