Tight with his money? When it comes to managing his newspaper -- or paying his employees -- then sure, he's tight. But when it comes to Spider-Man, he's throwing out million-dollar rewards and financing the creation of super-robots and new *supervillains* to take him down. I wonder if the public knowing he helped create the Scorpion (he did do this in the comics, right? Not just the early 90s cartoon?) would have affected his campaign.
