It turns out that the Bush Administration and their allies are in the back pocket of polluting industries. http://www.lcv.org/News/News.cfm?ID=2689&c=27&UID=1016930BDB1FAA8238&MX=270&H=1 A new study shows that some of the dirtiest polluters in the country and the trade group that represents them have raised $6.6 million for President Bush and his GOP allies. http://www.lcv.org/News/News.cfm?ID=2689&c=27&UID=1016930BDB1FAA8238&MX=270&H=1 Several top industry officials brought in so much money that they were named Pioneers and Rangers for bringing in $100,000 and $200,000, respectively.
