Obama Linked Energy company donates $250K to Democrats group

The Washington Times reports:
A company looking to buy a Baltimore-based energy group that would make it the nation’s largest competitive power supplier contributed $250,000 to the Democratic Governors Association, according to its IRS report released on Monday.

Exelon Corp.’s contribution was the largest single gift reported by DGA for the period of Jan. 1 to June 30, according to its mid-year fundraising report to the Internal Revenue Service.

Chicago-based Exelon is seeking to buy Constellation Energy Group in a $7.9 billion deal. Constellation contributed $50,000 during the same period to the DGA, which is headed by Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley.
