Arkansas Lt Gov Halter leaves Akamai Technologies board
ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE (1/23/07): Arkansas Lt. Gov. Bill Halter (D) said Friday that he resigned from the board of directors of Akamai Technologies of Cambridge, Mass., effective Jan. 9, the day that he was sworn in as lieutenant governor. Last year, two of Halter’s opponents (a Democrat and a Republican) accused Halter of profiting from pornography and gambling through Akamai, which provides online services. Halter denied those charges. He said he didn’t know about the pornography part of Akamai’s operations when he began serving on its board in 2001. He said he learned about it in 2002 when the firm’s executives told the board that those pornography lines of business. ...Editor's Questions: What was that, Halter didn't know the company was peddling online pornography? How can you be on the responsible member of a board of directors for a company and not know what the company was involved in?
