IRS record from the Democratic Governors Association that shows donations from Nevada-based casino companies.In Louisiana, casinos are prohibited from making campaign contributions to state politicians or campaigns. But casinos can donate money to federal groups such as the Democratic and Republican governors associations. And these outside groups can spend freely on state races.
During that same time period, the DGA pumped millions of dollars into the Louisiana race through a pro-Edwards group called Gumbo Pac,for the Republican Governors Association also show more than $200,000 in donations from Nevada casino companies around the time of the Louisiana election. And like its Democratic counterpart, the RGA also spent millions on the race, which became the most expensive gubernatorial contest in Louisiana history.
"When casinos are giving money to one of those groups right before an election that the casino has a vested interest in — like the governor's race — and then the DGA or RGA spends the money in that race," says Paul Seamus Ryan, an executive at the campaign finance watchdog Common Cause."That's a pretty clear connection."
I believe this article should be rewriten as: 'Campaign Donations? Why is it still a thing?' At least make corporations and the elite TRY to commit a crime by buying representatives off
they call that the Lucky☘️Loophole
This is the modern day corruption. There is a limit on individual contribution but not for cooperation.
This is a big blow to the Democrats.... Theses casinos give big to the DNC...
