| One area that has not been front-and-center following the release of campaign finance filings is the fate of the warchests of two of the former three men in a room who are either recently resigned (Spitzer) or about to leave (Bruno-- he is said to be leaving the Senate on Friday).
In the category of "he's finally doing what I tell him to" (could have benefitted by catching on to that earlier, though), Eliot Spitzer is not going to use his no-longer-needed-for-campaigning campaign funds for personal expenses on the thin but legal fiction that he might one day run for some office. More than 1.5 million dollars will be or has already been returned to donors.
Now, Bruno has about the same amount of money last I looked (ok, you geeks! fill in the precise numbers for me in comments). What is he doing as he "rides off into the sunset"? OH, how, well, very Bruno of him! He is giving six million dollars of our tax money to Saratoga Springs, and NONE of his "own"! Take my nifty "What should Bruno do with his campaign warchest" poll on the flip! |
