Who Gets Casino Money?
The other day, I listened to a story from WHYY on Delaware legislators who get money fron casino interests. The report they referenced noticed the recent casino bailout and wanted to see if there was any clear connection to votes for the casino interests with contributions from those interests.

Referencing a recent report from the Follow the Money website called Ante Up: Gambling and Casino Contributions in Delaware, they reported:
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show-Wed., May 5, 2010

Better late than never. No, no, not the post-game show from last Thursday’s session, but House Resolution 38, introduced and passed Thursday (March 25), “PROCLAIMING FEBRUARY 21-27, 2010 AS FOOD CHECK-OUT WEEK IN DELAWARE.” Memo to Rep. Pam Thornburg: If you’re gonna do a resolution like this, it might be more effective to do it […]
