«Mr. Trump held a fundraiser down in New York City a few weeks back and did raise some
money, but they have — I would use the word — «struggled» to raise the private funds needed to pay these individuals who are working
on behalf of the
taxpayers but not being paid by the government,» said Congressman Chris Collins, who has been an advocate for Trump since early in his presidential campaign.
Meanwhile, Luke Bronin's spokesperson's New York based company received hundreds
of thousands
of dollars from the charter school industry for coordinating the lobbying campaign
on behalf of the charter schools, a proposal that diverted Connecticut
taxpayer money that should have been spent
on public schools.
