Lynch Blasts Cicilline for Taking Money from Special Interests
Friday, July 16, 2010
Congressional candidate Bill Lynch is accusing Democratic primary opponent David Cicilline of violating his promise to separate money from politics.
“By accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from special interests, Mayor Cicilline will no doubt be beholden to their agendas and priorities in Washington,” Lynch said.
The Cicilline campaign announced this week it had raised $433,484.81 in the second quarter and had $900,943.14 cash on hand. Lynch, meanwhile, had collected $55,000 and has approximately $140,000 cash on hand.
