George McDonald, a Republican candidate for Mayor of New York city, sued the city last month over the $4,950 limit on how much an individual may donate to a Mayoral candidate. The case, McDonald v City Campaign Finance Board, is still pending in the State Supreme Court in Manhattan. Now he says he will stop trying to raise contributions in excess of the legal limit, and will seek to qualify for public funding. See this story. Thanks to Political Activity Law for the link.
