I know this is a supermarket chain primarily in the South East, but I have been doing some checking on what local companies make political donations.

Philip Morris, Publix failed to report donations

Associated Press


ATLANTA - Tobacco giant Philip Morris and Publix Super Markets failed to disclose $510,000 in political donations in Georgia since 1999, state Ethics Commission officials say.

An investigation was opened Friday to determine why.

Both companies discovered the mistakes recently and reported them to the ethics panel, officials said.Philip Morris and its subsidiaries - Miller Brewing Co. and Kraft Foods North America Inc. - made more than 400 unreported donations, including $127,500 to the state Democratic Party, $140,000 to House and Senate Democratic caucuses and $37,500 to Gov. Roy Barnes. By comparison, $15,000 was given to Republican candidates.

I was just happy to see that Publix & Kraft Foods & Miller Brewing Co donated to the Dems. Looked like pretty good proof if they got fined for doing it.

3. Publix and Outback Steakhouse gave

over $400,000 of the million collected to try and defeat the minimum wage resolution on the Florida ballot.

They are also big supporters of Jebbies past campaigns.
