"Gangs of New York"

From Tuesday's Spartanburg Herald-Journal:

The common thread between [state senate candidate Lee] Bright and [Tom] Davis is that they are backed by S.C. Club for Growth, South Carolinians for Responsible Government and Conservatives in Action - three organizations that state Rep. Harold Mitchell collectively refers to as the "Gangs of New York" because of their ties to private school voucher proponent and New York millionaire Howard Rich.
