Listed below are the Political Contributions from BFI to the DNC and NRSC. A quick look shows that definitely BFI is contributing more to the Republican party.  Even more interesting is the amount of money spent for federal lobbyists.  It is shocking to see the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by this corporation to influence decision makers in goverment while the very communities that this corporation makes money from suffers from BFI's neglect to keep their landfills orderly.
