Money from Paterson's Aides Goes to Stringer, Silver

Here's a look at some of where two top aides to David Paterson donated money in the last filing (January 12-July 11):

Risa Heller, Paterson’s well-paid director of communications, donated $250 to Scott Stringer in January.

Sean Patrick Maloney, a top aide to Paterson who previously ran for attorney general, is spreading his money around. In addition to giving money to Sheldon Silver, Maloney contributed to City Council candidates Bob Zuckerman in Brooklyn, Ari Hoffnung in the Bronx, and Yetta Kurland in Manhattan.

UPDATE: A reader notes Heller's contribution was made before she joined Paterson's staff on April 3.
