If you want an example of straight bribery, which is sufficiently far in the past to be non-partisan, try Rick Santorum with Accuweather. Accuweather employees (mostly the head and his brother) donated $10,500 to his PAC and he subsequently introduced an Act trying to wall off the National Weather Service's data from the public domain. What surprised me was how low the price tag was. These days, that barely covers a new Submariner.
