Gaming lobbyists load on the campaign cash to Mass officials

In 2008, gaming lobbyists made 2,058 political campaign contributions to Massachusetts candidates totaling over $312,296 – ($121,350 – came from lobbyists representing interests outside of the state or  Indian gaming interests).  This lobbyist political money doesn’t reflect other bundled contributions or those made directly by their gaming clients to Massachusetts politicians.
