      Look what came up when I searched a bit on the author of this proposed Constitutional Amendment, Paul T Currier:

      "Paul Currier met . . . Robert Chow in 1999. Chow was a teacher of telecommunications at several schools in the Bay Area. He was also employed by MCI Worldcom as a telecommunications specialist. Currier had a varied business background and sought to create a wireless communications company. Their mutual interests resulted in their entering into a business relationship to create a telecommunications start-up company. . . . Chow has over 20 years' experience in microwave technology and 10 years' experience in optical voice and data networks. . . . Chow anticipated working strictly in the technical operations of the company, while . . . Currier would be responsible for the fundraising and routine operations."

      Currier and Chow formed two entities, Communications Bridge USA, Inc. (CBUSA), and Communication Bridge Global, Inc. (CBG). As Chow described it, it was only after the two firms were incorporated, with himself and Currier as "the initial officers, directors and shareholders," that he learned certain things about Currier that caused him to reconsider the project: "These included Currier's prior felony drug conviction that resulted in prison time; allegations of spousal abuse; past due child support payments; bad credit history; history of alcoholism; outstanding liens from the Internal Revenue Service; and a sexual harassment case in federal court. Furthermore, Currier had represented to Chow that he would bring in millions of dollars from investors, yet failed to bring in a single one."

      These concerns led to a special meeting of CBUSA's shareholders that was held in June 2001. The shareholders voted to remove Currier from the board of directors and from his position as president. Chow became CEO and Chairman of the Board. Attempts to put CBUSA on its feet were unavailing, and it filed for bankruptcy in August 2001. The chapter 7 liquidation was concluded in December 2003, and Chow lost his investment of approximately $200,000.
