The NY Post amuses with Look for the Union Label:
Underscoring the axiom that even a blind hog finds an occasional acorn, the New York Public Interest Group has just made public a most compelling list: a compilation of the state's top-spending political action committees.
But it's not about money per se.
NYPIRG and its allies noted in grave tones that the PACs spent $19 million last year on behalf of the special interests they represent. No big deal, that. There is a First Amendment, after all.
No, what's fascinating is that of the 10 top spenders, seven collect the cash they dispense to candidates for public office from public employees.

No wonder New York's elected "leaders" opt every time for higher taxes in times of fiscal stress - rather than economical government.
