The 'patronage' you talk about in post 29 refers to jobs of power or authority. This article is about the Governor's staff. Huge difference between the two.

Corporations are paying people who are closest to the governor. This is bribery.
Bribery is offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions as an official or other person in discharge of a public or legal duty.

Its disingenuous to imply the governors staff has no power or authority.
