    Harry, I believe that there are two sets of contributions to Ciommo that were in excess of the $500 maximum allowed per calendar year -- $1000 from the Boston Teachers Union and $1000 from Jim Davis (founder of New Balance).

    In both cases, the excess $500 were returned and are documented later in the reports (under expenditures). I don't know why they accounted for the money that way, but so be it.

    Note that the $1000 from IBEW comes from two different union groups ($500 each), so my suspicion is that this is consistent with state campaign finance law.

    To be honest, the one that really stands-out like an infected sore is the contribution from Beal.
