Donation bought access to DeLay
Aide says TRMPAC donation didn't sway majority leader on bill

AUSTIN ? A company indicted in a Texas campaign fundraising case says it was told that by giving a Tom DeLay political committee $25,000, company officials would get access to the U.S. House majority leader to influence legislation.

In court documents, Westar Energy of Kansas says that to meet with Mr. DeLay in 2002, company officials "were told they needed to write a check for $25,000" to Texans for a Republican Majority, known as TRMPAC.

It's the first time a company has said it donated to the Texas committee created by Mr. DeLay in exchange for a meeting and legislative help.

An aide to Mr. DeLay denied that he was swayed by the donation.

"Anyone who has worked with Majority Leader DeLay knows that his legislative efforts are based on sound public policy alone," spokeswoman Shannon Flaherty said.

Westar attorney Martha Dickie declared in April in an Austin court that company officials hoped to win Mr. DeLay's help on pending energy legislation, according to transcripts in a lawsuit challenging the use of corporate money in Texas elections.

That is a promise made by all politicians.

Donate and I will listen to you.

They make sure that they do not commit to "influence" legeslation, just insinuate.

Just like having a night at the WH for a sizeable donation.
