Hollywood to the rescue with cash for Feingold
ByDemocrat Russ Feingold. As reported by The Hill,
Among Feingold’s contributors are filmmakers Steven Spielberg and
Harvey Weinstein, actors Michael Douglas and Edie Falco, as well as
NBC’s Jeffrey Zucker, music executive David Geffen, and producer
Jeffrey Katzenberg and his wife, Marilyn, according to
CQMoneyLine.com.Writer and producer Tom Fontana, creator of the television series
“Homicide: Life on the Street” and “Oz,” also ponied up for Feingold,
as did actress Kathryn Erbe, who has appeared in “Law and Order” and “Oz.”
Amazingly, three of the donors were so anxious to contribute that they violated campaign finance limits.
…Weinstein, Douglas and Fontana all gave donations that were
over the $5,000 legal limit per cycle and had to be reimbursed for the
surplus.
