Mayor Bill Foster:
- $500 from Thomas Sansone, minority owner of the Tampa Bay Rays
- $500 from the St. Pete Chamber PAC, one of Pinellas' pivitol players in the Stadium Saga
- $500 from David Feaster, former president of grass-roots Rays boosters, The Clutch Hitters
- $100 from Dick Greco, former Tampa mayor
- $100 from Bob Byelick, chairman of The Clutch Hitters
- $250 from Harry Cohen, Tampa city councilman
And it should be noted: while the St. Pete mayors race is a non-partisan affair, many contributions tend to fall along party lines, rather than stances on a stadium. Nevertheless, there was little support for candidate Kathleen Ford's campaign from those involved in the stadium debate.
The maximum allowable donation in this race is $500.
The polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday night, with the top two finishers facing off in November.

Always amazes me just how cheaply politicians can be bought. Even I can scrape up $500.
