Investing in Freddy

In a sign that some see Freddy or his aides as useful friends in future campaigns, the daily disclosure forms (you know, the ones Mike's avoided filing) show three transfers in on Friday: one from Andrew Cuomo's campaign for Attorney General; one from Lieutenant Governor candidate Tom DiNapoli (who must hope that his investment, one way or another, wins him the regard of Eliot Spitzer), and one from City Councilman David Weprin. A quick look at City Council candidates' disclosures, available on the same page, show that Weprin and his fellow Speaker hopeful Melinda Katz, have in recent days, been spreading money around among their future colleagues (Tom White in Weprin's case; Darlene Mealy in Katz's).
