"Wasn't $61,965 the amount Terry Weldon extorted from Ocean Township??? Isn't it ironic that this team [council] raised the same amount of money?"
Let's say you've got two politicians, John Lapdog who manages to raise $12,000+ in the current election from persons, lawyers and master developers (the last two aren't really people) and their families to insure continuity of a council that sees, hears and speaks no evil, of a deal that robs the community; the other, John Homey can't raise squat, cause he feels the developers plan is injurious to the community. John H. has the misfortune to accept 400 square feet of paving, worth perhaps $1000, but through prosecutorial slight of hand $5,000, and is arrested by the FBI. John L. has the good fortune to not accept paving, or not be caught, but accepts the $12,000. Depending on how dumb you are, and whether you live in New Jersey, the former is criminal; the latter is called 'pay to play'. Strange place New Jersey.
