Mayor denies special treatment

Jim Hahn was asked yesterday about the Times' stories alleging that one of his contributors, Mark Alan Abrams, put together $300,000 in contributions for the mayor and may have received favorable treatment at City Hall for his development projects. From the Daily News:

"There absolutely were no special favors done," Hahn said when facing intense questioning after an unrelated media event.

"I've received contributions from thousands of contributors over the years. There is no way to check them all out. I follow all the rules and I expect people who contribute to me to follow the rules."
