I haven't even finished all the research but I'm sure that you get the picture. If you want to check out the rest of the names, visit http://www.opensecrets.org .
* Update--- I've done a search of the Ohio Secretary of State's campaign finance site and many of these same names show up in Austria's previous campaigns when he ran for state office. What promises did Austria make these individuals? What do these companies hope to gain by serving on this commission? Is this a payoff for being a contributor to Austria's campaign?
