Oh man! A company gave money to a political campaign?

Not only a political campaign but to a bond referendum for which they were the contracted beneficiaries. In effect, they bought themselves a contract extension.

Yawn. When you express the same outrage over the same practices for highway projects, I might wake up.

I'm an engineering consultant. Is it "ethically conflicted" of me to support financially candidates who want to build more roads, schools, airports, ports, and subways?

This is rather like saying it is ethically conflicted for taxpayers to give money to candidates who support lower taxes.
