Prison Guards Union Is Davis’ Top Donor
On the day it endorsed Gov. Gray Davis, California’s prison guards union donated $302,000 to his reelection campaign, raising its total contributions to Davis to $1,014,000 since he took office, according to a report filed Wednesday with the secretary of state.
The California Correctional Peace Officers Assn. is now the largest single donor to the Democrat’s reelection campaign. Davis signed legislation this year granting the union’s members a pay raise of as much as 37% spread over the next five years.
