"In the 32 months since Gov. Andrew Cuomo won a second term in office, 18 donors have given his campaign committee over $100,000. That’s double the number at this point in his first term. As was the case during his first four years in office, Cuomo has been dependent on real estate for his campaign money. Most donors are limited to $65,100 but a company that controls multiple limited liability companies can give this amount for each of them, a system the governor has derided as “a pure loophole in the campaign finance law.” It particularly benefits real estate developers, as they often have one LLC for each property. As a result, each of Cuomo’s seven largest donors and of 11 of his top 18 are involved in real estate. "
