Comcast exec's donation being given back

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - April 16, 2009 Comcast senior vice president Joseph Waz Jr. told The Philadelphia Inquirer on Wednesday that the Jan. 15 contribution will be returned.

However, he says it is unclear whether Pennsylvania's ban applies to the contribution.

Comcast's political committee is registered in Pennsylvania. State officials would say only that the matter is being investigated.

Snider has a stake in the proposed Foxwoods Casino Philadelphia project. Comcast-Spectacor is a subsidiary of Comcast and owns the Philadelphia 76ers and Philadelphia Flyers.
