- Several Dems would apparently be happy to see either Markowitz or Racine come out ahead in the primary. Folks like Jake Perkinson, Gail Holmes, Peter Anthony, Bill Botzow and Bill Stetson gave to both candidates.
- Racine shows a $250 contribution from former Progressive Burlington City Council member Jane Knodell. A sign that Racine’s courting of the Progs is beginning to pay off?
- In regards to Douglas, can somebody explain to me why the citizens of South Hadley, Massachusetts have apparently contributed $2000 to his re-election campaign? The contribution is listed as from “South Hadley Landfill” which, according to their website, is owned by the town of South Hadley. It’s managed by Interstate Waste Services. Douglas does receive other contributions from landfills and the like – but the report’s listing clearly states that the contribution is from the “South Hadley Landfill,” not Interstate Waste Services.
Wuzzupwitdat? Sounds like something for a professional reporter who does this for a living to dig into, yes? Exactly why we need professional reporters. I sure as hell don’t have the time in my life to play journalist.
UPDATE: Totten says the South Hadley Landfill is “owned and operated by Interstate Waste Services out of Ramsey, NJ, according to information from the company and incorporation papers on file with the secretary of state’s office.” That doesn’t square with the website, but its most likely the website is out of date. May still be worth a call to the town, though.
