Various Campaign Finance Stories
November 5th, 2006 | Published in State Data
As the election nears, it’s nice to see a collection of state-level campaign finance stories, since most of the attention is on the federal races. Among the recent examples is a St. Louis Post-Dispatch piece on electric utility donations to state lawmakers and a story on gubernatorial donors related to the Trans-Texas Corridor in the San Antonio Express-News (nice to see bylines for researcher Julie Domel and database editor Kelly Guckian). And then there’s a New York Times story on contributors switching from Gov. George Pataki to his apparent successor, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.
