Kevin Richardson Is A Very Smart Celebrity

Elizabeth Auster of the Cleveland Plain Dealer profiled Sen. George Voinovich’s move to boycott the hearing where Kevin Richardson of the Backstreet Boys is scheduled to testify on the dangers of mountaintop coal mining. The rep for the Backstreet Boys star, Vicki Hanna, said, “Kevin is a smart celebrity. He’s grown up in the area. It’s his home. He cares deeply about the people and he just wants to do anything he can to help. Getting people to talk about the issue is a great start.”
