If you are wondering how much casino lobbyists impact our government, you may want to check out opensecrets.org, the lobbyist tracking site. This is a great site that tracks who bribes donates to whom.
According to opensecrets, casino and gambling supporters donated a total of about $10M last year to our legislators. 52% of the money went to democrats and 48% to republicans. This is down since 2004, when donations were over $12M from these groups.
More interesting, however, is the rise in donations from Indian casino groups, which has risen from $4M in 2000 to over $7M in 2004. And Indian Casino supporters send 71% of their money to democrats, only 29% to republicans.
Conclusions that can be drawn from this? Republicans and Democrats are equally swayed by casino groups, except when it comes to Indian gaming, in which case the democrats favor the practice more.
