A Form Of Bipartisanship At The Summit
Posted by Kyle Trygstad | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
You'll find a nice bipartisan mix of legislators attending tomorrow's health care summit at the top of a new government watchdog group's report on how much each attendee has taken from the health care lobby. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington released a report on the 21 House and Senate members who were invited, showing how much in contributions each has taken from health care groups since 2005.
Here is the Top 5:
• Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) received at least $2,557,930.
• Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) received at least $2,223,985.
• Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) received at least $1,982,904.
• Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) received at least $1,897,093.
• Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) received at least $1,842,311.
