    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the high-growth rate of Santa Clara Valley, Santa Clara County, California due to political campaign donations despite the dot-com failure and the U.S. recession. With technology in slump lawmakers feared the industry would reduce political giving this year. In just the first eight months of 2001, computer, software and Internet companies and their executives funneled a hefty $5 million to candidates and political parties, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. Executives also have more time to focus on policy during this period than during the boom.
