| Description | While New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin publicly danced around questions about his political future, he spent a considerable amount of money polling and researching a possible gubernatorial run, according to documents obtained by Eyewitness News.
Campaign records for all of 2007, which were filed with Louisiana's ethics board, show Nagin paid Dr. Silas Less, a political consultant, almost $60,000 last year.
“That's a lot of money to spend on polling,” said Dr. Ed Renwick, Eyewitness News political analyst. “I need a client like that. That's not too common.”
Eyewitness News contacted Lee on Friday. He said he conducted statewide polls and research for Nagin, who was interested in the governor's election. Nagin also used the money to poll other state senate and representative races, and according to Lee, he was looking to see which candidates he could or should endorse. |
