Hometown News: Golisano Plans to Keep Sabres, PAC

Buffalo Sabres owner Tom Golisano may have moved his official residence to Florida, but says that won't affect his role with the team. Golisano is moving to avoid paying high New York taxes. The billionaire founder of Paychex says he will not unload the hockey team, and will stay active in attempting to influence politics in Albany. Golisano has run for Governor three times and spent millions trying to sway the outcome of political races. The move to Florida will save him about five-million dollars a year.

HTN: Golisano is a Top Clinton Contributor

One of Upstate New York's wealthiest men, Tom Golisano, is one of former President Bill Clinton's top fundraisers. According to financial records released by Clinton, the Buffalo Sabres owner has contributed at least ten-million dollars to Clinton's Foundation. Golisano was among four donors on the ten-to-25 million category. Just two donors were above the 25-million-dollar threshold. Clinton has released the fundraising disclosures as his wife, Hillary, prepares to become Secretary of State. As part of the agreement with the Obama Administration, Clinton promised to release his donors, including foreign governments with whom Hillary may have to negotiate with.
