McGinty top Dem. recipient of Marcellus Shale $$$ for last 2 reported years. [View all]

A handy dandy guide to the money drilling interests have lavished on PA legislators. When your sales tax goes up because our gutless, supine legislature won't pass a severance tax, here's where the blame lies.

Granted that Republicans - especially Corbett- received lots of cash, take a look at the many Dems who also accepted $$$ from Marcellus Shale.

Of all the Democratic recipients for the two most recently reported years - 2013 and 2014, guess who is at the tippy-tippy-top of the list?

None other than current PA Senate candidate, Katie McGinty. She took in a tidy $72,600!

And yet she's running as a champion of the environment. She clearly is Marcellus Shale's favorite in the Dem. primary!
