Link -> A Luxury Box at Citi Field, an M.T.A. Contract and $188,000 for Cuomo – The New York Times

Some reading for your off-night about the time the Governor went to see the Mets play baseball.

Last year, on June 25, the Hauglands hosted the governor at Citi Field.

The luxury stadium suite was not crowded, offering plenty of space to move between outdoor seats — to watch the Mets play the Pirates — and the food inside. The attendees included Rocco Trotta, the chairman of LiRo Group, a construction management firm that is working on the M.T.A.’s East Side Access project. Mr. Trotta did not respond to requests for comment.

Mr. Cuomo arrived with an entourage of security and staff members, and stayed for about 30 minutes, two attendees said.

The Mets lost, but the Hauglands made a good impression: Their companies made a series of contributions totaling $188,000,campaign records show. Other donors at the fund-raiser gave at least $14,000.
