HARRISON, NY — Harrison Youth Baseball has donated a total of $2,600 to Mayor Ron Belmont's election campaigns, The Journal News reports. One donation exceeded the campaign donation cap. Plus, the addresses listed for all three donations on Belmont's financial disclosure forms were unusual — and wrong.

Harrison Little League co-president Richard Salerno told TJN the donations weren't political because they covered tickets for coaches and parents to golf outings and dinners. Those were hosted by Belmont's campaign committee but Belmont told the paper they were just fun community outings.

The address for the first donation was listed on campaign forms as 728 Harrison Ave. in Harrison, New Jersey. The second donation address was 140 Webster Ave., the location of a town baseball field. The address for the third donation was the Solazzo Center, a municipal building.
