		<description>If you dig a little deeper on that link, you can look at all the state elected officials. How the Mayor raises money is no different that other elected officials. This is a problem that goes all the way to Albany. 

Singling out the Mayor is the equivelent of burrying your head in the sand. If you want real change, then get the legislature to pass a ballot initiative process. Then the people can pass measures to break the patronage maching statewide. 

The way to do it is pretty clear. Just get a deep pocket like the Wendt Foundation to set up a shell organization like CBB. Then CBB can use Wendt money to make contributions to every elected officials campaign with some encouragement to pass a ballot initiative process. The trustees of the Wendt Foundation do this stuff all the time, they are as dirty as the politicians. So, using their money to manipulate the political system, and the courts if necessary, would be no problem for them. 

If the ends justify the means, then let&#039;s send a proposal to the Wendt Foundation to set up a bunch of bogus citizens groups and manipulate Albany. We can use the model the Wendt trustees (Kresse, Day and Lunt) used to hassle the Seneca over their casino license. 

If the Wendt trustees are too intrenched in the currupt system to do this service to the public, then we can set up out own tax exempt foundation and do it ourselfs. What a scam, setting up a tax shelter to manipulate the political system. Thanks for the idea Wendt trustees.</description>

		<description>I was looking over the filing thing linked on the article (that is so neat they have that btw).
Brian Reilly gave a couple hundered a week or two after he started. I wonder if that came up in the job interview. 
La Nova gave $100 - a week before the Mayor announced he was selling them a vacant lot for parking. I wonder if the neighbor contributed $101 if the mayor would have sold it to him instead.  
What kinda racket is being run out of that place. It is pathetic.</description>

		<description>Well &quot;inside&quot; ... prove yourself!

If you have &quot;lots of good inside info to come;&quot;
how about showing a small sample? (if you&#039;ve got anything?).
Otherwise, I&#039;m going to have to stick with the Mayor and the figures from city hall.

Good Luck, Inside
I hope you could do it!</description>

		<description>I rather see him in Congress too, just to get him out of Buffalo so this city can move forward. This fuzzy math is getting out of hand. What a joke this administration is.</description>

		<description>Are you sure Brian?
I was going by $350 million out of $4,500 Million.
Where can I find the list you and Tony are reffering to?
Maybe that will lead to Geoff Kelly&#039;s question:
&quot;So who’s giving Brown and Casey all this money and why?&quot;</description>

		<description>Bashar Issa&#039;s Tower wasn&#039;t even 10% of the list.
90% plus is more than a passing grade!</description>

		<description>Please- that list is as phony as a three dollar bill. There&#039;s buildings on it that have been completed for years- nothing ever comes off and, even better, anything that is even an idea is added to the list. For instance- Bashar Issa&#039;s tower.</description>

		<description>Any money sent to Byron Brown is money well spent.
He has brought Buffalo 4.5 Billion Dollars in new development.
I&#039;d rather see him in Congress than Hillary.
What has she ever brought us? : 200,000 new jobs!</description>
