Union makes State Senate Democrats return Walmart money

The New York Post reports:

State Senate Democrats have bowed to pressure from furious labor leaders and returned a controversial $15,000 campaign contribution they received from Walmart, The Post has learned.

The action came just days after last week's disclosure in The Post that the Democrats had accepted the cash from the union-resisting Arkansas-based retail chain, which is believed to be interested in putting its first city store in Senate Democratic Leader John Sampson's Brooklyn district.

Sampson controls the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee.

"I can confirm that the money was returned. That's as far as I'm going to go on it," said Democratic spokesman Eric Blankenbaker.
