palmbeachmaven Commented on Fore! Was Iffy Foundation A Vehicle To Support GOP Rep's Golf Habit? by Justin Elliott

Steve Buyer organized the Frontier Foundation in 2003, the same year the Medicaid prescription bill passed. Over the next five years, the pharmaceutical industry contributes more than $500k to Buyer's foundation.

Buyer uses the money to fund trips to expensive resorts in the Bahamas, Arizona and Florida.

Sounds like legal bribery to me.

Were the foundation's other contributions for golf tournaments, too? That would explain why the foundation chose to donate to organizations that didn't meet the foundation's stated goals.
