Four Republican legislators who broke ranks with their colleagues to enact gay marriage in New York have each received $10,300 campaign contributions from Mayor Bloomberg. Mayoral aides confirmed the donations after filings were released yesterday.
"The mayor said he would support Senate Republicans who stood up, and he did," said Micah Lasher, director of Bloomberg's Albany lobbying office.
Bloomberg's $41,200 came through after the Senate on June 24 made New York the sixth state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriages.
