Connections: Following The Money In Politics

The Monroe County Democratic Committee is being investigated for a series of large donations that found their way to then-State Senator Ted O'Brien's re-election campaign in 2014. Who sent that $225,000, and did the committee break any rules or laws?

Our guests look at money in politics, and what this affair tells us. Our guests:

  • Dave Andreatta, columnist with the Democrat & Chronicle
  • Dave McLaughlin, money in politics activist
