July 15, 2009 Federal Election Commission Attention Amanda Iovino 999 E Street NW Washington DC, 20463 Dear Ms. Iovino: This letter is in response to inquiries dated June 16, 2009 in regards to the Tedisco for Congress Amended April Quarterly Report (3/12-09 – 3/31/09), received 4/30/09 (Quarterly Report), and the 30 Day Post Special Report (4/1/09 – 4/20/09) (Post Special Report). We have answered your questions in order, beginning with your two questions related to the Quarterly Report, and ending with your three questions related to the Special Report. 1. In regards to the reporting of 48 hour notifications, which you request additional information about in your letter regarding our Quarterly Report: The contribution from 36 Cottage Street LLC was reported on a 48-hour notice filed on 3/24/09 and reported in the name of Joe LaPoor, We received notice attached to the contribution that the contribution was to be solely attributed to Mr. LaPoor. The contribution from Bond Schoneck and King PLLC was attributed to 10 partners at $100 each and reported on the Quarterly Report. A 48 hour notice was not filed for this contribution. The in-kind contribution from James Durante was for catering services Mr. Durante provided for an event on 3/27/09. The campaign did not receive the notice from Mr. Durante detailing the costs to the campaign until well after the close of the 48 hour notification period, and thus no 48 hour notice was filed with respect to this contribution. The contribution from Friends of Brian Kolb was hand delivered to the campaign on 3/31/09. Thus, the contribution was made on 3/31/09. The contribution was not made on 3/27/09 (the date of the check), and thus no 48 hour notice was required to be filed. We will amend our Quarterly Report to reflect the correct date of the contribution. The contribution from Lemery Greiser LLC was reported on a 48-hour notice filed on 3/16/09 and repoted in the name of James Carminucci. We received notice attached to the contribution that the contribution was to be solely attributed to Mr. Carminucci. David Putnam sent in an online contribution on 3/26/09. The campaign regrettably did not file a 48 hour notice for this contribution. The contribution from SAL, LP was reported on a 48 hour notice on 3/20/09 and reported in the name of Slade Led Duke. We received notice attached to the contribution that the contribution was to be solely attributed to Slade Led Duke. The contribution from SML, LP was reported on a 48 hour notice on 3/20/2009 and reported in the name of Scott Led Duke. We received notice attached to the contribution that the contribution was to be solely attributed to Scott Led Duke. 2. With respect to your question about why the Quarterly Reportshows an “substantial increase” in the amount of receipts when compared with the original April Quarterly Report filed, we agree that this is true. After the original April Quarterly Report was filed, the campaign discovered that online contributions were not properly showing up in our report when the data was transferred to our FEC reporting software. We immediately and thoroughly reviewed the transactions reported during this reporting period and have amended all discrepancies. 3. With regard to your concern about contribution designations on Schedule A of the Post Special Report and potential excessive contributions,we have amended the report in an effort to better clarify our election designations and to make clear that none of the contributions reported were excessive in nature. Specifically, we changed the designations in question to 2009 Special Election Debt for contributions collected for retirement of the 2009 Special election debts, and to 2009 Tedisco Ballot Integrity Fund for contributions collected for the Tedisco Ballot Integrity Fund effort. We understand that contributions made to retire Special Election debt count against a donor’s limit for the Special Election, and we verify that no excessive contributions resulted from contributions made to retire Special Election debt. 4. We have amended the Column B figures on the Summary and Detailed Summary Page of the Post Special Report pursuant to your request and we submitted the amended report today, July 15, 2009. 5. In response to the inquiry about the Post Special Report and the unclear election designations for contributions disclosed on Schedule(s) A for Line(s) 15 and Schedule(s) B for Line(s) 21, we have amended these contribution listings on the Post Special Report to include the correct year of election for which the contribution was designated.
