Thanks for the link to the Board of Elections. Very insightful.

Here are some things I found out.

1. Tom Best did indeed take a donation from 24KT. Certainly an argument can be made that this is a "rookie mistake." Here's another rookie mistake I found: Vinny Gugliuzza accepted donations from some unions and then did all of his shopping at Wal-Mart. What would the unions think about that? We'll just call that a rookie mistake as well.

2. Dick Smith gave a $500 donation to Politicswny.net. Shortly after, this same site posted the story critical of Tom Best and Kevin Smardz. Interesting...

3. Someone also brought up that Kevin Smardz's report is not listed. But they forgot to mention that Kesner, Cavalcoli and Connolly's reports are also not posted. Neither is the Hamburg Endorsed Candidates fund, which we all know is run by Vincent Sorrentino. Since certain people think that Smardz is not qualified to serve because his financials are not posted, do these people think the same about those listed above?

Just some observations.
