$50 for a buffet???  That's a bit steep in these economic times, aint it?

It's a fundraiser. It's a donation to a candidate if you choose to support them. I don't think it's steep at all. Especially if you are not only supporting a candidate, but are getting great canali food!! YUM! IMO

I think the days of $50 and $99 fundraisers are things of the past.  People just can't afford it!  I'd rather see George put some of his own money into his campaign, than take $50 from me.  Also, check out this link:

George's committee still owes well over $70K to the Republican Assembly Campaign Committee!!!!!! Wowzers...I guess a donation to George is welfare for his debts...

You're kidding right? It appears that GA is putting on a full Italian buffet for $50 bucks! Big deal.

If I remember correctly GP had a 'get together' at a bar on guilderland ave with donations of $20, $99 and $250!!!!

This  is nothing new. Politicians running for office have fundraisers to raise money for their campaigns. And people will pay if they support them. I will donate to a candidate I support but not the party.

I hear you...I'm just saying that the high $ fundraisers are not something appealing to a lot of the people I talk to.

Aside from that, as I previously posted, George's debts (being that they are SO old) are a little bit alarming to me...no wonder we don't have a state budget!

You really need to get out more. $50 for a full buffet at Canali's is cheap. Will any of ANG's cheese be on the buffet?-lol-

Exactly!!! If ya support the candidate......you will attend and pay.....simple as that! This is really nothing new in the realm of political campaigning! Like I said....GP's was at a local watering hole and was requesting upwards of $250 bucks. I'm sure people that supported him would pay.

No one is twisting anyone's arm to go to these things. It's all 'volunteer'!

I'll be there!

George has it all locked up he has Matt doing the running for him!

the best they will do is just less than half way

Fifty dollars is a lot of money for many people.  However, there are many fundraisers, political and those to support
charities, for which the charge is much higher.  

I agree that it is about supporting those who you support and want to represent you in government.  It costs a great deal of money to campaign for office.  Those who do not have and spend the funds are generally unsuccessful in their bids to be elected.
