1. I may be confused, but it looks like Tom Wolf received far more money in 2014 than McGinty.

2014 being the year of the Governor's election. It still was a mere pittance compared to what Corbett received.

Those contributions didn't seem to hurt Wolf any, and he still ran on a platform of taxing the drillers.

I guess I'm just not seeing how this makes McGinty a "Marcellus Shale favorite".
