_“Trial of Election  Aide Could Hurt Bloomberg”_ 
(http://electionlawblog.org/?p=22958)

_NYT_ 
(http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/12/nyregion/larceny-trial-of-john-haggerty-could-hurt-bloomberg.html) : 
But the defense argues that a crucial element will require an exploration  
of Mr. Bloomberg’s campaign spending habits and tactics. At issue is why the 
 mayor paid for ballot security in such an indirect fashion: donating $1.2  
million to the state’s Independence Party, which then transferred most of 
it  to Mr. Haggerty. 
If the defense is allowed to have its way, election law experts say it  
could produce some awkward, embarrassing and dangerous moments for Mr.  B
loomberg. 
Henry T. Berger, a Democratic election lawyer, said: “From an election  
lawyer’s point of view, the interesting issue is the transfer of the funds  
from the mayor. It appears to most election lawyers that I’ve talked to that  
there’s at least one, and possibly two, violations in that  transfer.”
