Thanks to poster Billy Burnett for sharing this article. I found it interesting because some of the names are so familiar.

Don't Call Me a Lobbyist

"Even though my name is Chris Korge and Alex Penelas is my best buddy and all the commissioners are indebted to me and I guarantee you'll get that fat county contract

Toss out the name of any county politician and it's a sure bet Chris Korge has raised money for his or her election campaigns."

...." In other words, at one time or another Chris Korge has bestowed his special brand of munificence on every single county commissioner currently in office. "Right," he confirms with a smile. "I would venture to say I was one of the top five fundraisers for each individual commissioner in their elections."

If you know the names, makes for some interesting reading from 1998..
