Political Contributions

Our company believes that it should be an active and effective participant in the political process and that it should support the legislative process by contributing prudently to state and local candidates and political organizations when such contributions are permitted by federal, state and local law. Generally, contributions are made to office holders and candidates whose views on industry specific issues are consistent with our long-term legislative and regulatory goals or to those who represent the communities served by our company and its subsidiaries.
