* Mayor Michael Bloomberg has given state Senate Republicans $1 million, believed to be the largest single donation given to the conference, and $75,000 to four Democrats, including Sen. Jeff Klein, the Wall Street Journal reports: http://on.wsj.com/S52wxU

* The city's Board of Elections voted to increase the font size on its ballots in November after New York voters complained they could barely read the names of candidates in the September primary, the Times writes: http://nyti.ms/RXif7G
