The Boston Globe reports that federal investigators have joined the investigation into CVS Corp. and payments it reportedly made to a pair of Rhode Island legislators who blocked the passage of a law that the company opposed.

CVS already has conceded that it made "errors in judgment" and that it is changing its policies to ban paid consulting agreements with elected officials.

- KC's View:
- Somehow, the notion that any company could have a paid consulting agreement with an elected official is rather quaint.
