Saturday, July 11, 2009
In campaign disclosure reports released this week, a few familiar names popped up on donation lists for some of Atlanta’s mayoral candidates, including a $250 contribution from Frank Sinatra.
Not “Ol’ Blue Eyes.” This Frank Sinatra is an attorney in the New York offices of Holland & Knight, a law firm with an Atlanta branch where candidate Kasim Reed works. The attorney and the late entertainer are not related.
