Hime specifically attacked Barresi for donating to Democrats Scott Meacham, Jeff McMahan, and Sandy Garrett. A reader commented on my post, saying that Hime neglected to mention his own campaign contribution to Sandy Garrett.
In order to lay both sides' record on the table, allow me to show who gave how much to who, according to searches on the State Ethics Commission, OpenSecrets.org and FollowTheMoney.org. Democrat candidates will be underlined.
