Donovan Campaign’s Sara Waterfall Must Be Dismayed Over Week’s Events.

Danbury Democrat Sara Waterfall had been an employee of Donovan for Congress, taking home about $1,100 every two weeks, according to the most recent campaign finance report. The arrest on federal charges of Donovan campaign fundraising honcho Robert Braddock, Jr., must have staggered Waterfall. The former legislative employee was fired from the Donovan campaign last week. Her campaign finance sensibilities, however, are so tender that in 2009 she filed a complaint with the State Election Enforcement Commission alleging some flyers promoting the candidacy of a local Republican failed to include a required “paid for by” attribution.

Waterfall also claimed the Western Connecticut State University student newspaper violated state law by publishing a letter to the editor from the Republican candidate, Derek Roy.

The SEEC took no action on the Waterfall complaint. If some flyers without a proper attribution, an email, and a letter to the editor propelled Waterfall to lodge a complaint with the SEEC, the week’s events at the Donovan campaign must have Waterfall doing the right thing and assisting authorities and the campaign with their separate and distinctly different investigations.
