GREER INDUSTRIES

Greer Industries crossed with 2012

Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Greer Industries and 2012 — sum to $761,000. Fourteen itemized contributions and 2 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Greer Industries hub nor the 2012 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Fourteen 2012 lines from two donor keys describe a concentrated named-employer cell. Dollars per donor average far above a typical itemized household gift because the cell is two identities, not a plant-wide payroll. The Industries suffix is part of the stored string. GREER, GREER INDUSTRIES INC, and generic MINING or CONSTRUCTION occupation strings are other keys if stored separately.

4.1% of the Greer Industries roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $18,659,050 ($18.7 million). The 2012 slice of $761,000 is about 4.1% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 95.9%. Treating 2012 as the Greer Industries FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $18,659,050 as the denominator for the 4.1% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2012 from being folded silently into $18,659,050.

Questions

How much did Greer Industries donors give in 2012?

FEC.gov aggregates show $761,000 in itemized individual contributions for the Greer Industries grouping in the 2012 cycle, across 14 contributions and 2 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $18,659,050 all-cycle figure.

What share of Greer Industries FEC money is 2012?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $18,659,050. The 2012 cell of $761,000 is about 4.1% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 95.9% on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Greer Industries hub holds other cycles; the 2012 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Greer Industries’s PAC or an official account?

No. $761,000 is itemized individual receipts whose employer or occupation text grouped to Greer Industries. Committee PAC filings and official organization accounts sit outside this rollup unless an individual receipt itself carries the string. The key is not a mining or construction NAICS total and not a Greer PAC.

Where is the overlay for the Greer Industries 2012 join?
