Many corporations and environmental advocacy groups spent a lot of money lobbying to get their issues passed.

Here & Now contributor Harvest Public Media and the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting combed through millions of pages of disclosure reports, but as Jeremy Bernfeld reports, it's nearly impossible to find out who spent how much money on the bill.
