For many years, Dominion Virginia Power has positioned itself to exert influence in the Virginia General Assembly. The utility has donated more than $3.75 million to Virginia’s politicians since 1996, according to the Virginia Public Access Project (www.vpap.org).
According to the VPAP, Dominion has secured the services of no fewer than 17 registered lobbyists this year, in order to keep bills that are against the utility’s interests from surviving the legislative process.
