from the status: In headlines today, we report that the Republican Governors Association has accidentally disclosed documents showing wealthy donors were able to pay for increased access to the governors mansion in several states. According to the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Republican documents outline how top companies have donated millions of dollars to the secretive Republican Governors Public Policy Committee, which is tax exempt and not required to list its donors. The top group, known as the Statesmen, gave over $250,000 apiece, with members including Aetna; Coca-Cola; Exxon Mobil; Koch Companies Public Sector, Microsoft; Pfizer; UnitedHealth Group; and Wal-Mart. In return, donors were given access to private meetings and gatherings with Republican governors to discuss policy. Despite the secrecy, The New York Timesreports none of the practices were illegal.
