The reverse is true: politicians have developed a new set of brass-knuckle legislative tactics designed to extort wealthy industries and donors into forking over big donations... Until now, Washington's extortion racket has gone unreported. Yet thanks to an extraordinary effort by Peter Schweizer and the investigative research staff of the Government Accountability Institute, we now know the racketeering methods and the players who profit from them." -- Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.973 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.973 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
