Following the Money: More to Come!

On Thursday and Friday, I gathered most of the reports filed in the Bethlehem and Easton City Council races. I have Tara Zrinski's report in the Controller's race. Unfortunately, I had to leave the courthouse a little early on Friday, so I am still waiting for a few reports that came in after I left. I will have reports on the Easton and Bethlehem City Council races on Tuesday. Allentown City Council reports will hopefully be on the city website by then.

    Did you get Kelly Keegan's? (County Council candidate) I know she's unopposed but I'm curious. She did form a committee so she's got to file something.

    As for TeamTara, I can't wait to see this. Judging from the endorsements she posts on her FB page, this could be interesting.

  2. I have the reports filed by Keegan and Zrinski. I will write about Zrinski's report once I have the report from her opponent Nadeem Qayuum. I have reported that (1) Keegan paid for the challenge to Myers: and (2) was no doubt assisted in that effort by a $1,000 contribution from McClure.

    "I have reported that (1) Keegan paid for the challenge to Myers: and (2) was no doubt assisted in that effort by a $1,000 contribution from McClure."

    I knew about the challenge and the ruling, but I didn't know how much it cost the Keegans nor where the funds came from. She's a nurse and he's a retired school administrator so a grand for a challenge should be something they can afford out of pocket.

    And, if that's the case, it's a slimeball move. I like McClure but that's just wrong and wrong by both parties. I didn't know that funds donated to your election committee could be used to challenge ballot petitions. It's unethical and borderline corrupt, in my opinion.

    Thanks for giving us information the local press doesn't cover.

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.
