Senate President Jeff Atwater said Monday (3/16/09) he will return a $5,000 check to his political committee donated by Joseph Bruno, the former New York State Senate Majority leader who was recently indicted.
Bruno gave the money Oct. 28 to Atwater's fund, Preserve the American Dream. Atwater said Monday that he recalled meeting Bruno once and that "he wanted to contribute to Republican initiatives" but that keeping the money now "would not be appropriate."
