Campaign finance reports cited by the Akron Beacon Journal today show that the committee supporting the mayor - "Citizens for Akron" has raised nearly 220-thousand dollars.
The reports say the pro-recall "Change Akron Now" group has raised just 75-hundred dollars.
The recall election is set for a week from Tuesday, June 23rd, and absentee voting has been taking place at the Summit County Board of Elections.
WAKR and AkronNewsNow.com have extensive coverage on the upcoming recall election Sunday.
1590 WAKR will air an extended report on the recall from noon to 2 PM, and the coverage will also be heard continuously on AkronNewsNow's WAKRNewsNow streaming news feed from noon to ten PM on Sunday.
WAKR and the Akron Beacon Journal are cooperating to provide full coverage to Akron voters on the recall election.

missfit said:I read that the money was mostly from outside sources and from some companys who have contracts here in the city and people who do not live here personally. The Mayor has one thing going for him through his years of networking, he has managed to rub elbows with muckity mucks. Money wont buy him votes, maybe some more yard signs?

This same campaign finance report lists Eric Mansfield (who is this week's WAKR "fill-in" for Ed Esposito) as a donor.
According to the Monday's posting on Eric Mansfield's blog... "It wasn't me."
It seems that Plusquellic/Fusco can't tell Eric apart from his wife (and Akron School Board candidate) Lisa.
