Carl Paladino's Donations
Even though he’s running as an outsider, New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino certainly knows how the system works: “For a guy who professes to despise politicians, Carl P. Paladino sure likes to shower them with money…. Paladino and 20 of the companies he owns have contributed since 1999 to 156 candidates and 15 other campaign committees, most of them linked to the Republican and Democratic parties, a Buffalo News analysis shows. Those contributions total $468,787.”
