BTU SCANDAL: Pat Santeramo Was “Event Chair” For May 2009 Alex Sink Fundraiser

It's Pat!

Did Pat Santeramo, disgraced former Prez of BTU, take his role as an “Event Chair” for Alex Sink a bit too seriously? The ongoing investigation should answer the question. For now, here’s an entry from the May 2009 Sun-Sentinel announcing the Alex Sink fundraiser:

“Broward’s political-legal-business-lobbying elite — at least as far as the Democrats are concerned — are joining forces to help the state’s top Democrat raise campaign money.

They’re hosting a Riverside Hotel fundraiser on Thursday for Alex Sink, the state’s chief financial officer. She’s the leading candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, though she hasn’t yet declared for that spot.

The invitation, including the listing of event chairs and hosts — and the amount of dough the different categories are raising — is on the continuation of this blog posting.
