Rendell's report shows a cash balance on Nov. 25 of $588,652. Egan's balance was $6,865.
A late entry into the mayoral race, Egan did not even begin his fund- raising efforts until late summer. He replaced Frank L. Rizzo, the former mayor and police commissioner, who died of a massive heart attack after winning the Republican primary. Rendell won the Nov. 5 election over Egan and four other candidates by a more than 2-1 ratio.
According to the reports, Egan raised a little over $80,000 during the final weeks of the campaign. The largest single contribution, $16,000, came
from the Republican City Committee. Other contributors included Republican Sen. Joseph M. Loeper's campaign committee, which gave $3,000 and City Councilman Thacher Longstreth, who kicked in $2,500.
The report shows Egan's committee paid out $158,224 in expenses during the close of the campaign, including $61,000 to Harmelin & Associates and $18,931 to political consultant Eddie Mahe. Egan's personal expense report also included $226.84 to replace a windshield on a car loaned to the campaign. The windshield was broken while Egan was a passenger in the car, en route to a campaign event. He suffered only minor injuries.
Rendell's report shows that the Democrat spent $529,428 at the close of the campaign including $83,000 to the Democratic State Committee and $28,500 to the City Democratic Committee.
By far the biggest final expense for Rendell was the payment of nearly $94,000 in "election day expenses," more commonly referred to as "street money." The records show that individual payments to election day workers - which is often bundled by ward leaders and redistributed to workers - ranged
from $325 to $19,641 to Al Spivey, a Democratic political activist and former deputy city representative.
