Industry Cash Flowed To Drafters of Reform: Baucus Is a Leading Recipient

Health-related companies and their employees gave Baucus's political committees nearly $1.5 million in 2007 and 2008, when he began holding hearings and making preparations for this year's reform debate....

In the past six years, nearly one-fourth of every dime raised by the Montana Democrat and his political action committee has come from groups and individuals associated with drug companies, insurers, hospitals, medical supply firms, health service companies and other health professionals.

These donations total about $3.4 million, or $1,500 a day, every day, from January 2003 through 2008.

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get Open Secrets to give me a list of Baucus' donors., but the Sunlight Foundation has a decent bit on Baucus's donors.

Or this bit from another post,

Lobbying disclosure filings for the first quarter of 2009 reveal that five of Baucus’ former staffers currently work for a total of twenty-seven different organizations that are either in the health care or insurance sector or have a noted interest in the outcome....

The former staffers turned lobbyists include two former chiefs of staff, David Castagnetti and Jeff Forbes, and one former legislative assistant....

PS. We're talking HUGE MONEY in tiny media Montana. Let's burn this guy down.
