Watchdog group files complaint alleging Bill de Blasio’s campaign violated campaign finance rules
Federal rules cap individual donations at $2,800 for a presidential primary. The complaint found 25 donors who not only ran up against that limit, but also gave the maximum to both PACs. The PACs then paid for polling, travel and other expenses as de Blasio was considering a run for office.
Most of the 25 contributors gave just when de Blasio was exploring a bid — and when the PACs’ coffers were running low. “NY Fairness PAC and Fairness PAC could only afford to fund de Blasio’s exploratory activities using funds raised from donors who gave during the period de Blasio was testing the waters for a candidacy,” the complaint said.
