Thursday, October 9th 1997: No wonder Arlen Specter seemed a bit "subdued" yesterday! -- A Pennsylvania company had just copped a plea in federal court for funneling $129,000 in illegal corporate donations to political candidates and one of them was Arlen himself, who took $5,000 from Empire Sanitary Landfill, laundered through employees of the waste company. Empire was fined $8 million. According to FEC documents, Specter took $1,000 each from five Empire employees in 1995. Our Big Red Face award goes to the Philadelphia King of Pies this day. Empire was lobbying Specter on a trash transportation bill pending in Congress. The biggest beneficiary was the Dole Campaign according to Reuters, but, to be fair, we also found some hefty contributions to the Clinton/Gore and DNC non-federal soft money accounts.
