From the Buffalo News: Davis apologizes for payments to wives of Independence Party leaders
Democratic congressional candidate Jack Davis apologized today for $10,000 in payments he made to the wives of Western New York's most influential Independence Party leaders that critics called "bribes."
The candidate, who has promised to spend $3 million of his own money in his third attempt at winning the seat of retiring Republican Thomas N. Reynolds, said his payments to the wives of Independence Chairment Anthony L. Orsini Jr. of Erie County and Rafael Colon of Monroe County for "consulting" services constituted a "mistake."
First they were appropriate payments, now they are "mistakes." Some in the Independence Party called them bribes.
On a Friday afternoon, no less. |
