INTRODUCTION
The following is a synopsis of campaign contributions to Indiana state legislators, the Democrat and Republican Parties, and the executive branch of Indiana government (including the Attorney General) from Indiana utilities and related companies.

The information was taken from the state campaign finance database.

SYNOPSIS OF LARGE COMPANY DONORS
In 2005, Indiana utility companies, their representatives, and telecommunications companies contributed over $500,000 to Indiana legislators, the Democrat and Republican Parties, and Governor Daniels.

Among telecommunications companies, SBC (which recently acquired AT&T and renamed itself AT&T) gave nearly $80,000. (See Telecommunications Link on this Web site for information about possibly the worst anti-consumer bill in Indiana history.)

The nearest competitor in spending to SBC among telecommunications companies was Verizon with over $21,000 in contributions.

The largest contributor among gas electric monopolies in Indiana was Cinergy (which recently merged with Duke Energy and assumed the Duke moniker) contributed over $60,000. Cinergy was followed by Vectren with over $50,000. IPL and AEP followed with over $43,000 and $42,000 respectively. The association for the rural electric cooperatives (IFRE, Indiana Friends for Rural Electrification) contributed close to $90,000.
