Democratic City Council hopeful Tom Ragaini is hitting people up for money these days.
But it's not for his 2nd District campaign.
Instead, he's busy selling tickets to a stag party for his son, Matt, who's getting married in September.
Just this evening, at the downtown corporation meeting at City Hall, he was squeezing Gardner Wright, John Leone, John Lodovico, Frank Johnson and Craig Minor to cough up for tickets. They proved easy marks, tossing cash at Ragaini.
Ragaini makes no apologies, though.
"You know how many stag parties I've been to in the last 30 years?" he asked.
Ragaini, however, has limits.
He said he wouldn't try to hit up lame duck Mayor William Stortz.
Ragaini said he knows that Stortz won't have a job after November so the mayor doesn't have money for stag parties anymore.
