Below are the search results I received from Pennsylvania Department of State's campaign contributors database Monday when I searched for slot parlor hopeful Louis DeNaples.

DeNaples, a felon with alleged ties to organized crime, and his two businesses, D&L Realty and RAM Consultants, donated more than $1 million to the state's top elected officials. For more about his contributions to Sen. David "Chip" Brightbill, click here.

From 2000 through 2005, DeNaples and his two partnerships, D&L Realty and RAM Consultants, have contributed at least $1,002,950 overall to state elected officials, including Gov. Ed Rendell and every top House and Senate leader, candidates for representative and other state offices, campaign committees with ties to the legislative leaders and the Democratic and Republican House and Senate campaign committees, according to an analysis of campaign finance records conducted by The Times-Tribune of Scranton.

However, I could not independently confirm the newspaper's findings by duplicating the effort. My analysis using the database put the total at $679,375. But I question the completeness of the records input into the database.

For instance, a $10,000 donation D&L Realty gave to Friends of Tom Corbett on Jan. 27, 2004 does not appear in the contribution database, but shows up in that campaign committee's finance report with no mention in subsequent reports of the money being returned.

It took a little doing, but the graphical links for more details below all should work. The list is the actual responses I received from the database.

UPDATE MARCH 4, 2008: The links I so painstakingly copied below no longer work because the state has finally re-done its database after two years of me bitching about it. (It still doesn't let you sort by date and dollar amount after the initial search and you can only use the last name of a person. Good luck if that name is Smith.) It now lists 56-pages worth of donations from DeNaples between Jan. 1, 2000 and today. To see them for yourself, click here. I am confident in the $679,375 amount I calculated on a spreadsheet, but again it was only as good as the data inputted into the state database.
