$2,500 hardly seems a large donation from a behemoth like Google. It’s fairly common practice in the Fortune 50s to donate to any politician who might even have a glance at any potential legislation that could affect them.
This would be more impactful if Google was one of the only large companies that donated.
- eli 7y agoThis common practice is bad. I agree that it is sad how cheaply influence can be bought. Why else would it be so common?
- maxerickson 7y agoYes, it's more a demonstration of principles than anything else.
- idlewords 7y agoThe donations are capped by law at $10K, so they are all "small" in that sense.
