We hope this is the sign of the times...
Some tickets to a fundraiser held in Asbury Park last week for Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy were marked down 50 percent to help with sales, according to an item in today's The Auditor column in The Star-Ledger. The event was held last Thursday at Synaxis in Asbury Park where Healy's family has plenty of roots, the column states. According to an email sent to potential Healy supporters, the "discounted tickets" were available for $150 per person, half the original price. Vin Gopal, who sent the email and is running for Monmouth County Democratic chairman, said it was a friendly discount for those who couldn't handle the full price. "I typically invite a few friends as guests and we invite a few others at lower ticket prices because not everyone can afford $300 per ticket," Gopal told The Auditor. "It is a very common practice. Anyone who has ever hosted a fundraiser for any political candidate knows that." And the mayor can use all the ticket sales Gopal can muster. As of mid-January, the other declared mayoral candidate, Downtown Councilman Steven Fulop, had a roughly $432,000 war chest, having raised $657,512 so far, while Healy was sitting on only about $50,000, according to campaign documents. At this point in the 2009 campaign, in which Healy vastly outspent his rivals, the mayor had nearly $1 million at his disposal. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... ces_to_fundraiser_fo.html
