The Money Trail

In the next series of posts, I will look at the amount of money dumped on Pennsylvania politicians by the natural gas industry over the past few years. In a state where there are no limits to political contributions, the numbers are staggering.

Along with posting totals, I will be posting the seemingly endless list of individual contributions made by the industry to various politicians. This will take up a lot of your screen and will require extensive scrolling, but I feel this visual is critical to understanding what the communities of Western Pennsylvania are up against. In American politics money buys influence and Western Pennsylvania has been inundated by some of the premiere heavyweight influence procurement specialists.
