What About the Yard Goats? Blumenthal Charges $1,000 a Ducat for Washington Nationals Fundraiser.

Sergeant Blumenthal has gone Washington on us. The first term U.S. senator does not want a repeat of 2010 when he put $2 million of his own fortune into his campaign. The Greenwich millionaire and Democrat is hawking tickets at $1,000 each to attend a May 24th game at Nationals Stadium between the Nationals and the New York Mets.

What reason would someone in Washington have to spend $1,000 on a ticket to go to a game with Richard Blumenthal? It might have something to do with influence.

Blumenthal is expected to win a second term with little trouble from Connecticut’s hobbled Republicans. It would not have hindered him to have brought all those high rollers to Dunkin’ Donuts Stadium whenever it opens.
