Nevadans donate $15,880 to Clinton fund (Tim Starks, Donrey Washington Bureau)

WASHINGTON -- Some gave out of anger. Some gave out of sympathy. Overall, Nevadans donated $15,880 over the past six months of 1998 to ease President Clinton's multimillion-dollar legal bills.
The Clinton Legal Defense Trust attracted money from 115 Nevadans from July through December, according to an accounting the trustees made public this week.
Donations from the Silver State were a drop in the bucket as the fund took in $2.3 million from 29,500 contributions nationwide over the last half of the year.
Since the fund was established earlier in 1998, it has raised more than $4.5 million to pay the president's legal bills, trustees sai
Most donors from Nevada gave $50 or less. One man from Reno sent $2.
One donor, Arthur M. Goldberg of Las Vegas, accounted for nearly two-thirds of Nevada contributions by himself. He gave the maximum $10,000. Goldberg, president of Park Place Entertainment Inc., has donated money to the president before.
Other Nevadans said they were happy to help the president.
The last six months of the year were particularly dark for Clinton as independent counsel Kenneth Starr completed his report and sent it to Congress, and the House of Representatives approved two articles of impeach- ment.
"The amounts involved with the bills are staggering," said Las Vegan Michael Fogarty, a 58-year-old retired pilot who gave $200 to the fund.
"What I gave is a pittance compared to the unlimited budget the prosecutor had to do whatever he wanted, to whomever he wanted to do it to
Starr has spent more than $40 million investigating the president, according to the Justice Department. Clinton's legal bills will top $10 million, according to Anthony Essaye, executive director of the Clinton defense fund.
Fogarty said he made his donation because he viewed the impeachment as "a rather vicious attack" by Republicans.
Marsha Corre, a 56-year-old retail saleswoman at Waterford-Wedgwood USA at Belz Factory Outlet World, also blamed Republicans.
"The whole thing was a Republican vendetta," she said. "I feel he's had to take more crap than any president who's ever been in office. They couldn't find anything to convict him with, so they just latched on to the sex thing."
Corre calls herself a longtime supporter who has donated money to the Democrats and Clinton before, and likely will do so again. When she heard of the defense fund, she immediately wanted to help.
"Unlike many presidents before him, he's not a rich man," Corre said of Clinton. "I thought I would give him a little help. It's a drop in the bucket of the millions he owes, but what I've heard is a lot of people like me are giving a little, too."
