How Do You Define “Involved”?

_________________

The other chuckle we got was reading pro-Proposition 78 consultant Frank Schubert say that they are “not hiding the fact the pharmaceutical industry is involved in our campaign.” (Sacramento Bee, August 16, 2005)

Involved? What constitutes “involved?” Did they write a letter of support? Did they loan the campaign some office space? Did they kick down with some free printing?

Oh wait, he must be talking about the fact that Big Pharma initiated and bankrolled Prop 78 to the tune of $72 million.

Must be nice when folks get “involved” in the political process.

I'm confused -- the article you point to states that the pharmas are spending $72 million for 78, and against 79. Did I miss something?

Post has been corrected to read Prop 78, not 79.
