"I don'ty know where he's coming Nyborg said of John who signed the letter as presidentg ofthe PMSA.
"Any time money goes to politicapl contributions, it comes from out of pocket." Some however, say they don't know where theirr union is coming from, either -- a few memberw say they don't recall ever agreeingh to pony up forpolitical payouts.
