POTHOLES ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL BIRMINGHAM FUND-RAISING DINNER PROMISED `ACCESS' FOR BIG DONORS
2002
Overview
The invitation, which was immediately withdrawn after the Globe called the Birmingham campaign for comment yesterday, was distributed by a longtime political associate of the Senate leader, Dr. Alfred L. Arcidi, a Haverhill-area health care magnate whose businesses are heavily regulated by the state. With a \"special VIP invitation to attend the event of the year,\" Arcidi told potential donors that with a $500 check, they can get a \"special lapel pin\" and attend a March 7 Birmingham campaign party at Anthony's Pier 4, the Boston restaurant. Arcidi wrote in his letter the the lapel pin would allow donors to get free admission to all other campaign functions, fund-raisers, and other events as well as personal invitations to Birmingham's inauguration. \"There are a limited number of lapel pins, first-come, first-serve,\" he wrote. The $500 donation sought is the maximum an individual can give a state candidate.
