From the Asbury Park Press:
New Jersey’s largest teacher’s union spent $37 million from 1999 through 2012 on lobbying and campaign expenditures.
That sum put the New Jersey Education Association at the top of a list out Thursday of the state’s biggest-spending special interest groups over the past 13 years.
The Election Law Enforcement Commission reports that the top 25 special interest groups spent a combined $251 million during the period on lobbying and campaign expenditures.
