Top Pennsylvania Recipients of Marcellus Shale Money--#1 Tom Corbett
http://www.marcellusmoney.org/candidates

I'm not even sure if that list even includes 2010. If anyone can clarify that, it would be great.

There are some really interesting names on that list--Joe Scarnati just was in the news for accepting a Super Bowl vacation from Consol Energy. Hmm.

(Thanks to PA Democrat for info).

Some more interesting news from MarcellusMoney.org:

"Drilling Marcellus Shale: Unlimited Natural Gas Company Contributions to Pennsylvania Politicians"

"Pennsylvania is one of only eleven states that do not limit the amount of money that individuals can give to candidates. Meanwhile, our state’s online campaign contribution database is so antiquated and inaccessible that it’s difficult for average citizens to know who is influencing their politicians. It’s a long-term problem with particularly serious consequences today."

They are running an absolutely fantastic and valuable website. :)

1. Great info. My Republican senator is on that list.
She's a real piece of work. I will make sure my neighbors get this info.

2. Oh yes...and of course, Jane Orie is right up there.
She's been busy recently doctoring documents in her trial:

4. The results of all that money they're getting?
"When asked to put in place a temporary moratorium on drilling in public lands until a full study of the impact could be made, those who voted “no” had accepted an average of three times as much cash from gas interests than those who supported that reasonable measure."
