Many of the same establishment donors supporting Henriquez, Llera (Rossi) and Sullivan are also financing a Jack Niles-controlled shadow PAC attacking Sam Kaufman.
I unfortunately believe that you have hit the nail on the head. I am still trying to figure out if the MAGAtz moved here or if they were here all along and just suddenly feel emboldened.
Good catch on the Browning/Wallace/Henson donations. Worth noting for readers: neither the Planning Board nor the Bight Board is independent of the City. Both are Commission-created, and members are direct commissioner appointees (Planning Board: one appointee per commissioner, 3-year terms; Bight Board: created by Commission resolution to oversee City-owned property). So when a sitting appointee donates to a commissioner's preferred candidate — especially one who could reappoint or remove them — that's not just an appearance issue, it's a direct financial tie to the people who control their seat.

This is why we are of common mind and purpose. Wait till the morning.
I wrap everything up.
