AP June 28,2003
With Democratic Gov. Gray Davis and his allies raising money to
fight a Republican-led campaign to recall him, wealthy donors
are getting an unexpected chance at influence during an important
time in California's budget and legislative calendar.
The committee formed to fight the recall is headed by a
firefighters union whose members could face job cuts in
the budget Davis will sign in coming months. It has drawn
donations from companies and unions affected by other issues
being debated in Sacramento as lawmakers confront a $38.2
BILLION {emp. added} budget deficit. /snip/
"There is no greater expression of loyalty than to come to the
aid of a governor who is under siege and is fighting to avoid
being removed from office outside the normal electoral process,"
said University of Southern California political scientist
Sherry Bebitch Jeffe. [ note: I DID NOT MAKE THAT NAME UP!]
/snip/
The group also has drawn from Davis allies who have lobbied the
state on various issues, including $50,000 from Sacramento-based
Ameriquest Capital. . .Ameriquest filed a report with the state
in April showing it lobbied during the first quarter of the year
on bills related to consumer loans, credit reporting and other
issues.
/snip/
"I don't think there's any question that this has added a new
mechanism for donors to exert influence," said Jim Knox,
executive director of California Common Cause, a nonprofit,
nonpartisan group that advocates for government accountability.

There is also this possibility: that Davis is simply raking in 'campaign' contribution because he knows he's going to "retire". IIRC he gets to keep his 'campaign' money if he does so.
