Return to Sender, Dan Maffei does the right thing
Dan Maffei has said that he would return the money immediately. A lending company who has been preying on senior citizens had donated a substantial amount to Maffei’s campaign. This, from The Post Standard:
Maffei’s campaign said it will refund the money to four employees of Upstate Capital Inc., a reverse mortgage lender with headquarters on Basile Rowe in East Syracuse.
Upstate Capital took advantage of seniors statewide through false advertising and portraying itself to be a nonprofit organization, according to state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. He announced a settlement with the company Thursday in which Upstate Capital agreed to reform its marketing practices and make clear that it is a mortgage/reverse mortgage broker.

Daniel Krupnick, Maffei’s campaign manager in Syracuse, said the campaign decided it was best to return the money, even though there were no charges of wrongdoing involving the contributions.
