Here are a few more details on how Tom Golisano’s Responsible New York did in Tuesday’s elections. Golisano, a billionaire who founded Paychex Inc. and ran for governor three times, poured millions of dollars into the political action committee. The PAC said it backed candidates in a non-partisan manner to remove Albany “from the grips of special interest.” It backed Republicans, Democrats and Conservatives.
