City Paper: LL Campaign Finance Roundup: The Final Weekend!



Color me surprised! TBSH has been saying for weeks that those Barry "supporters" were little more than paid employees. Talk about selling out your integrity! I wonder how committed any of these faithful would be if their faith (i.e. check) bounced.

From Fridays, LL report. To view the original article click HERE.

WARD 8
Marion BarryIn: $20,695 ($217,090 total); Out: $14,950 ($209,142 total); Debts/Loans: $0; Cash on Hand: $7,948


The Skinny: LL spoke too soon when taking Alexander to task for her army of “consultants”; Barry’s spent more than $13,000 on 15 paid consultants this reporting period, making from $3,100 on down to a couple of hundred dollars. Financing all this walking-around money? Old-time Barry crony Dickie Carter, for one; businesses and individuals associated with the garbage hauler donated $2,500. Also: Did Barry receive Bud Doggett’s last political contribution? The parking mogul died Aug. 13 at age 87; his $500 check to Barry was deposited two days prior.
