Caprio ramps up fundraising numbers

Frank Caprio demurred when recently asked about his political plans, but RI Report has the details of how the general treasurer has considerably strengthened his war chest. Matt also has the scoop here:

Update 7/31: With the final numbers in, Treasurer Frank Caprio has taken the overall fundraising lead and he, along with Mayor David Cicilline, remain at the top of the Cash on Hand (CoH) category. Updated numbers are below.

Original Post 7/3: The 2nd quarter of fundraising (4/1-6/30) has ended for the possible 2010 Democratic gubernatorial candidates and we can now report some numbers. Caprio had another strong quarter with Cicilline slowing down because of his focus on the city budget and Roberts and Lynch picking up some steam from their slow 1st quarters.
