Anyone that would like to, can see what a candidate has
received in donations by following this link,
http://www.elections.ny.gov/recipientstext.html
and putting in the last name. I did this and was quite surprised at some of
the filings. While we all know the
Republican Committee, both City and County have more money than the respective
Democratic Committees (there was never a real representative Democrat Party in Saratoga until about 12
years ago), you can tell who is dropping the G bombs on their candidates. If you look and check it out, the Republican
Committee has infused Sutton’s campaign with more than $6,000.00. Also, the majority of Sutton’s donations are
$1,000.00 or more and she has many family members donating quite a bit of cash
(which is no surprise), her family has big money and there is nothing wrong in
helping out family. I do however notice
the businesses that have been courting her and it does throw a red flag up.
Yepsen’s donations looks like they have been coming in from
more people donating smaller amounts ($50.00 to $75.00) range, not that she
hasn’t gotten some larger donations but not nearly as much as Sutton and I don’t
think Yepsen has had any $500.00 - $1,000.00 per plate dinners as we know
Sutton has had a few.
Looking up Bill McTygue’s donations, he also has donations
from family members, but probably 1/10th of Sutton's, as a
comparison.
I was very surprised to see that Skip Scirocco has quite a
number of donations from contractors, plumbing firms, engineering firms, etc. Surprising because it sends a message even if
not true that Scirocco is being given donations from either businesses that did
work and want to keep doing business with DPW or that they want to work with
DPW. I would think that businesses would
either donate to both candidates or to none at all, but Holy Joker, that’s just
what I think.
Franck’s donations have been coming in mostly at $100.00 per.
Arpei’s donations aren’t looking good; it seems that the
bulk of the money is coming from family, the Republican Committee and the Saratoga
Springs Housing Authority.
Well adios for now and remember if you see Bonita Sellers
coming down the Street, Al Calucci (Dick Wirth’s choice for Deputy
Commissioner) can’t be far behind.
Follow the link and look at the info for yourselves, you can
look up anyone in NY State.
It's absolutely NO surprise that Skippy's receiving donations from engineering firms along with plumbing (brother Frank's Capitol Supply),and contractors, Peter Belmonte (how much free water do you need Pete?). Skippy has to hire engineering firms because his $100,000/yr. city engineer doesn't know what the hell he's doing. Contractors? Skippy continues to increase our water & sewer rates while handing out FREE water to Peter Belmonte in Wilton. Skippy has ALWAYS be FOR SALE!!! Nothing new! I would be surprised if Sunnyside & Scharde's isn't also big donors.
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting the link to the State's contribution page, it makes looking up information very easy
ReplyDeleteSomeone left a comment that I will not post because they left a phone number (real or not). It related to the fact that I am Pat Kane, which is quite incorrect. There have been plenty of names thrown around and to date none of them are correct (it could be you are all off in gender). Anyway, I will remain anonymous and will not publish any posts containing addresses, phone numbers or Shauna's hair dye color. We'll leave the lights on, good night.
