| While the State Republicans, especially the Senate Majority Leader Bruno are outraged, that the Democrats are raising money for the upcoming SSD07 special elections, one item seems to be overlooked. Senator Balboni, on his way out the door to serve in the Spitzer administration, transfered $110,000 this month to the NYS Senate Republican Campaign Committee. The SRCC turned around and transfered $330,000 to their candidate to replace him. From my reading of the disclosures, this makes Sen. Balboni the second largest Senate contributor to the Senate Republican Campaign Committee just in the last 3 months (totaling $285K next to Bruno's $400K)! Updated with links. |
