CHICAGO (CBS) – A consumer watchdog group was warning that voices of small donors have been swamped under a tide of big money washing over the mayor’s race in Chicago.
Illinois Public Interest Research Group director Abe Scarr said campaign finance records show contributions of more than $1,000 account for more than 86 percent of all money flowing to the five mayoral campaigns, while less than 2 percent of the dollars came from small contributions of less than $150.
