It’s not accurate to say he was paid all that money,” Patru writes in an email. “Every campaign does it that way – the media guy places the ad buy<\/font>.”<\/font>

November Inc., the Nevada-based firm headed by consultant Mike Slanker, was paid $46,000. Slanker was reportedly issued a subpoena by the Senate Ethics Committee, which is investigating Slanker’s client, U.S. Sen. John Ensign of Nevada. The FBI is also looking into the Ensign matter as well.<\/p>\n
Moore Information, McMahon’s pollster, was paid more $42,000. The firm is under investigation by the New Hampshire attorney general’s office for violating the state’s ban on push poll.<\/p>\n
But it’s not just out-of-state firms who are benefitting from McMahon’s largesse. The Hartford firm of Sullivan and LeShane was paid at least $90,000 for political consulting and communications work.<\/p>\n
The salaries of McMahon’s campaign manager, David Cappiello, and several other top aides are not included because they did not join the campaign until after the 3rd quarter had ended.<\/p>\n
According to the revised filing, McMahon lent her campaign $2.5 million in the 3rd quarter. <\/p>\n
As far as donations, the multi-millionaire has said she will primarily self-fund (to the tune of up to $50 million.) But she will accept individual contributions of up to $100 and her filing shows she received dozens of such small donations, including $100 from Lowell Weicker of Smyrna, Ga.<\/p>\n
The McMahon campaign was under order from the FEC to file an amended report of risk enforcement action. <\/p>\n
