Donald de Brier, general counsel of the Occidental Petroleum Corporation, seems to have been the most generous of all general counsels when it came to political funding this year.
Over the 2011-12 period, Oxy's 71-year-old counsel gave a total of $40,800 in political contributions, spreading his largess across the board, according to Corporate Counsel magazine.
While almost 75 percent went to the Republican National Committee, de Brier still gave $5,000 each to Sen. Dianne Feinstein and House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, both Democrats from California.
The RNC received $30,800, but for undisclosed reasons, de Brier's $2,500 donation to Mitt Romney was refunded, according to Corporate Counsel.
