It is better to give than receive…

but when you both can give and receive, it’s even nicer.

$10,000 for the group, and a couple of hundred for the candidate of the party in power during the election that same year.

If nothing else, it just looks bad.

We need election finance reform.

Just to square the circle, the lucky recipient of the political contribution of $200 was there when the lucky recipient of the $10,000 Danny Williams Government grant was handed out.

This is a very interesting revelation Ed.

When the GRAMA and Alexander Bay were on the go in a big way the Indian Bay group was in its infancy. Are they a not-for profit?

The amount may be small but the optics and ethics of this donation is suspect.

I'll be looking for more details on this one.

Good stuff
