 <title>Utah&#039;s Special Interest Problem</title>
 <link>http://www.campaignmoney.org/blog/2006/12/04/utahs-special-interest-problem</link>
 <description>Utah&amp;#39;s &lt;em&gt;Deseret News&lt;/em&gt; has looked into the campaign finance records of Utah office-seekers and the results are &lt;a href=&quot;http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,650212018,00.html&quot;&gt;grim evidence&lt;/a&gt; of the need for reform.  Of the $3.74 million spent in the last election cycle by winning candidates $3.58 million came from the candidate&amp;#39;s own wallet, or from special interests.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.campaignmoney.org/blog/2006/12/04/utahs-special-interest-problem&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Food that Fattens Your Wallet? Works for Pombo...</title>
 <link>http://www.campaignmoney.org/blog/2006/09/25/food-to-fatten-your-wallet-works-for-pombo</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Rep. Richard Pombo (R-CA) has received $1.4 million in campaign contributions from agribusiness for his Congressional races. He is also the co-sponsor of legislation that would gut state food safety laws. Something smells a little sour to me...&lt;/p&gt;
