Norco Finance Reports Filed Today: Follow That Money

I spent much of this afternoon in the voter registration office, looking campaign finance reports filed by local candidates today. Although the office was obviously extremely busy, they still took the time to copy a few for me.

You can see Lamont McClure's campaign finance report here. You can see John Maher's filing here. I will try to post as many candidates' reports as I can between now and election day.

I intend to talk about the battle of the bucks next week, but I know that many heads are better than one. If you see a contribution that disturbs you or notice anything odd, please note it in the comments.

  1. Where's Angle and Ferraro? Are they untouchable? Oh, that's right it's your blog. Sorry I brought it up.

  2. Does any citizen from IN McClure's district actually contribute to him? Or just unions and attorneys from other counties in PA and Cleveland? I had no clue that so many labor PACs cared about who was on Norco council. Do they expect to be "paid back" later?

    Do you know how to read? "I will try to post as many candidates' reports as I can between now and election day."

    I can only post the ones I have, and the office staff was busy Friday making copies for the press. Rather than hitting readers with everything all at once, I posted what I had. Next week, I intend to get other reports, scan them, and put them on line. And that includes both parties.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
