Throwing Their Weight Around

CCA spent $250,000 lobbying the federal government in the last 3 months of 2009 (more than $83,000 per month, for those keeping count (i.e. me)). This doesn’t include lobbying state governments or contributions to PACs or other interest groups like American Legislative Exchange Council. But I am glad to see that even after all that money, they still lost a few contracts and their stock value dropped.
