[EL] Check out N.Y. Lawmakers Charged in Plot to Buy Spot on Mayoral Ballot - NYTi

[Margaret Groarke]

Au contraire, we New Yorkers just want to make sure that bribing public
officials is affordable! The desire to get one's way shouldn't bankrupt a
person.

More seriously, the limits we have in NYS are really generous (I would be
permitted to donate $41,000 to a gubernatorial candidate in the general
election). And these allegations are about donations to parties, about
which I don't have the rules handy. But a LOT of things need to change in
NY.
