“Clinton skipped the Senate floor debate over the measure, leaving Schumer to fend off attacks alone.
The project’s billionaire backer, Alan Gerry, and his family donated $9,200 to Clinton’s presidential campaign and $20,000 to the Democratic campaign organization that Schumer runs.
The contributions came just days after the project was inserted in the spending bill - leading to charges that the museum, part of a larger entertainment center, was being used to fatten campaign accounts.
“It really apparently is to the benefit of a contributor,” Lott said.
When it came time to vote, Schumer couldn’t keep his band together: Five Democrats voted against him, and Republicans who hours earlier had backed another New York pork project voted against this one.
Clinton and Schumer put out a statement saying the project, which has gotten state and local funds, was good for economic development in the state.”
(Oh sure, you frauds!)
