SACRAMENTO (AP) -- Top executives of Global Crossing, the telecommunications company whose collapse has led to the nation's fourth-largest bankruptcy, showered more than $350,000 on California politicians and causes in the last three years, state records show.

Of that total, $145,000 went to Gov. Gray Davis in that period. That included a $100,000 contribution by Global Crossing Co-Chairman Gary Winnick to Davis in August 2000.

Thanks for the ping!

Businessweek has some interesting comments on Global Crossing
and why they are not being investigated as vigorously as Enron!

Something like this could change the political calculus!
