No. When they calculated the contribution of public agencies, they lumped individual contributions together by where individuals WORK. For instance, a university didn't make a campaign contribution. Faculty at a University DID, out of their personal income, and all of their donations were lumped together by their place of employment. A university or a federal department or agency can't make a campaign contribution by law. For profit corporations (businesses) don't have those restrictions.
