re: #1141 dmon
The union contributions are can also be documented, again, whats the difference
If a Politician is seen taking a “contribution” directly from a business who they are deciding on a contract bid, and there are no “blind” or lowest bid requirements, then I think you would have a case of political interference, and maybe accepting a bribe.
Unless it is a union, then the Politician can do just about anything they want. The dem 14 are a perfect example. They took millions in union contributions, and are acting not on the states best interest, budget repair, but are taking orders from the unions to try and keep the money flowing.
Same with Obama when he gave unions the multi-million dollar gift by making them (and only them) exempt from the Cadillac health plan tax. You can draw a line directly between them, and it is all legal.
