​From the [Village Voice](http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2010/07/carl%5Fkruger%5Fpay.php?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed:+blogs/runninscared+%28Village+Voice+Blogs:+Runnin%27+Scared%29):

> The latest state [campaign](http://www.elections.state.ny.us:8080/plsql%5Fbrowser/efs%5Fsummary%5Fpage?comid%5Fin=A04220&rdate%5Fin=19-JUL-2010&reportid%5Fin=K&eyear%5Fin=2010&ref=bklyner.com) filings show that Brooklyn state senator Carl Kruger — who hasn’t had a tough race in 15 years — took in another half-million bucks from his many supporters. The haul keeps Kruger, who represents a swath of south Brooklyn, at the top of the state senate’s political money mountain, with a new total of $2.55 million in his war chest. That’s two and a half times the $989,000 that senate leader John Sampson has in his own campaign bank. Only Assembly boss Sheldon Silver has more, with $2.7 million.

> Whatever the probe’s status, the filings show that Kruger shelled out $7500 to the law firm of Meissner, Kleineck & Finkel, where partner Richard Finkel is representing Kruger chief of staff Jason Koppel who was also cited as part of the federal probe. Finkel told the *Voice*last month that his client is also out of the woods with the feds.

And he doesn’t even have an opponent. How disgusting.
