YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn partnership with The New York Times, Honolulu Civil Beat examined hundreds of thousands of campaign contributions and more than 70,000 government contracts.
We found that nearly one out of every five dollars donated to politicians in Hawai’i came from people tied to companies doing business with state and local governments.
In 2005 Hawaii passed a law intended to bar government contractors from giving money to politicians.
Yet contractors can still take advantage of loopholes, and many people charged with campaign finance violations have been allowed to keep giving — and to keep getting contracts.
See which politicians raked in the most cash, and see some of the companies that ponied up big donations and were selected for government contracts at the link in our bio.
