Robinson ‘confidant’ gave to Doody

By Mike Saccone | Monday, July 21, 2008, 03:07 PM

We’ll leave most of the campaign-finance reporting to our county-beat colleague, but one item on former Republican Mesa County Commission candidate Jim Doody’s recently filed report caught our attention.

Indeed, according to the report, Gigi Robinson, the wife of Democratic Mesa County Commission candidate Dan Robinson, gave Doody $50 in late December.

Granted the contribution came a month before Robinson formally entered the race, it would have been somewhat of an awkward circumstance had Doody stayed in the race and won his primary challenge against incumbent Commissioner Craig Meis.
