Odd remark during pledge drive

Submitted by Spiro on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 5:53pm.

OK, it was just an off-hand comment intended to squeeze out small donations during the final (I hope) pledge break, but I heard this comment by one of OPB's people and it troubled me.

Paraphrasing, but close, and I sincerely apologize if I have it wrong:

"You know and I know that a couple of bigwigs could come in here and open their wallets, and they would have undue influence over what goes out."
