Since this information is public information, I doubt an attorney would make a mistake like this.  My guess is they are donating the money to ensure stability in the community.  Some candidates have said they are against the development.  I believe I read in the APP on Sunday that Hamilton (recently arrested by the FBI for taking a bribe) siad that he was against the plan because there is no affordable housing in the redevelopement zone?  Hurry and cast your vote!!  Affordable, maybe low income housing alone the waterfront.  Imagine how nice that would be.  Oh wait, we have already had that.

This e-mail is mostly my assumptions.  Anyone knowing the facts or the law to be different please correct me.  I assumed that Asbury Partners has somehow donated either directly or indirectly to the incumbents.  I believe that is legal as long as they stay within the pay-to-play guidelines (I'm not sure what those are now).  But an attorney is not allowed to talk to or create a relationship with a represented party where there is the potential of legal conflict.  So, although Asbury Partners may be on whatever terms they choose with the incumbents, Asbury Partners' attorney has to remain a respectful distance addressing the City's attorney directly or the incumbents in the presence of a City attorney, only.  So it is odd to see donations from the attorney and his family.  It makes you wonder what is the relationship there and why would an experienced attorney feel it was proper to send such a donation in the first place?  The Incumbents gave it back, thank god for that, but what is their relationship?  I would never have even thought for a second to do such a thing if I was Asbury Partners' attorney.

no candidate should be taking any money from anyone involved in
development - the demo guys, the engineers, the architects and on and
on. Looks even worse when the spouses give as well.
