2 key CEOs give Patrick a fund-raiser (Frank Phillips, June 21, 2007, Boston Globe)

Governor Deval Patrick picked up about $25,000 in political donations this week at a fund-raiser thrown by the chief executive officers of two highly regulated companies whose financial standings and profits could be affected by decisions pending before the new administration. [...]

While not uncommon during previous administrations, Patrick's use of two heavily regulated industry giants to raise political funds stands in sharp contrast to his campaign promise to change the way business is conducted on Beacon Hill and to free politics from special interests.<>/blockquote>

They should just move the companies HQs out if they're highly regulated.

But that's more expensive.
