List of Bellone donors is quite a hoot! (Huntington, Sheldon: real estate, 2015)

Just placed online by Newsday:

Bellone Contributions

A virtual litany of special interest groups and shady characters. The top donors are, you guessed it, major real estate developer groups looking for tax abatements, cheap public land, and public money/favors from local government. C'mon Stevie boy, build those new sewers for "water quality issues" that will also allow us developers to build oodles of high rise apartment buildings.

I love the fact that it includes Gary Melius, the owner of Oheka Castle who was shot during a botched hit and who is now being investigated along with Mark Cuthbertson of the Huntington town council for ethics violations. Can anyone say "Sheldon Silver..."

Yeah, keep blaming it on those weekday town meetings that no one can attend. Do you know how to write?
