The well-connected engineering firm Birdsall Services Group that pleaded guilty to evading New Jersey’s “Pay to Play” law didn’t do it in a vacuum. The company used employees making small donations to fly “under the radar” for years while funneling political contributions to politicians who otherwise could not take the money.
