James Horan, CEO of Y-Carbon will receive a $150,000 government grant secured and announced today by Patrick Murphy.
Entirely coincidentally I’m sure, a James Horan of Doylestown is listed as a donor to a small Political Action Committee whose only 2008 recipient was – - Patrick J. Murphy.
The $150,000 will ostensibly be used to create so-called “Green Jobs,” designed to combat phony Global Warming, a non-phenomenon that was proven to be a fraud through leaked emails.
In April 2008, someone named James Horan of Doylestown contributed $600 to HEP PAC, a small Doylestown-based Political Action Committee established that same month. Government filings show that the PAC received $3,100 in total for that election cycle. By that account, Horan provided 20% of the group’s funding.
The same James Horan, listed as the COO of PA Biotech Center in his donation filing, is now the CEO of Y-Carbon as of this November 2009 announcement.
HEP PAC has only two other donors, Joan Block, who established the PAC, and Philip Mohan, COO of Immunotope. Again, I’m sure it’s a coincidence, but Murphy trumpeted a $300,000 grant he got for Immunotope in 2007.
Although HEP PAC states in its organizational filing that it “supports/opposes more than one Federal candidate, and is NOT a separate segregated fund or party committee,” according to OpenSecrets the sole recipient of HEP PAC money since it was established has been Patrick Murphy.
Now Y-Carbon is getting $150,000 in free and clear tax dollars – a grant – to create Bucks County jobs designed to fight Global Warming, which is a lie. The company already got almost $150,000 to do the same in Montgomery County.
Murphy mouthpiece The Bucks County Courier-Times, the so-called news outlet, reprints the press release without doing one minute of additional research.
(Bristol, PA) – TUESDAY, December 1, Pennsylvania Congressman Patrick Murphy (D-8th District) will join local entrepreneurs to announce the expansion of Y-Carbon, Inc. to Lower Bucks County. The CEO of Y-Carbon, James Horan, will join Congressman Murphy to announce a $150,000 Recovery Act grant for the company, and how the green, high-tech business plans to create local jobs.
The grant comes as part of over $18 million in recently announced funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to support small business innovation research, development, and deployment of clean energy technologies. In this first phase of funding, Montgomery County-based Y-Carbon was awarded $149,938 to continue its work developing nanotechnology for breakthrough performance in fields such as energy, water, and medicine.

good catch. just put some of the info on Murphy’s phillyblurbs blog announcement, or whatever it is.
Nice. You know they’re not going to investigate squat. That’s left to guys like us working out of spare bedrooms, not those in the hallowed halls of the Calkins-Murphy Media complex.
