Oops – Those corporations weren’t that generous to Andy Spano

Yesterday, Politics on the Hudson posted an item about a study of corporate campaign contributions done by NYPIRG and other watchdog groups. The item stated that the report found 13 instances where Andy Spano received donations over the $5,000 limit.
However, Bill Mahoney, NYPIRG’s research coordinator e-mailed to say that we at Politics on the Hudson misunderstood NYPIRG’s spreadsheet. The corporations that were listed as giving to Andy Spano did, in fact give over the limit, but Spano’s campaign received only a precentage of those donations.
“He did not receive more than $5,000 from any one corporate source,” Mahoney said in his email.
Politics on the Hudson regrets the misunderstanding.

Well, if his campaign received only a percentage, what entities received the rest? Too many times, these entries end in the middle of a story with no conclusion and no thread to a conclusion offered.
