Meanwhile, the Washington Post reports Toyota has hired crisis management experts from two lobbying firms, Quinn Gillespie & Associates and Glover Park Group. The teams join a force of thirty-two Toyota lobbyists already working Capitol Hill on behalf of Toyota. The Post reports more than 40 percent of the 125 members of Congress serving on the three committees investigating Toyota have received campaign donations over the past ten years from various entities connected to Toyota. Senator John D. Rockefeller, the chair of the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, was honored at a dinner gala and awards ceremony in 2008 financed with $45,000 in lobbying funds from Toyota Motor North America. On March 3, Rockefeller’s committee will hold an investigative hearing on Toyota.
