Easily the most money in any legislators campaign account belongs to Senator Ann "Gas Tax" Rivers, according to the Public Disclosure Commission Website: (She's something like $93,000 ahead of second place) but her account shows she's received just $31,975 in cash.
So.... where's the rest coming from?
Well, let's take a look around.
Her C4 form for February of 2014 shows she has a total of $7050 in her account.
OK... fine... not an unusual amount.
Her NEXT C4 form, filed just a bit late and 5 days after the C4 form above, for the period 1 May 14 to 31 May 14, shows just a tiny increase... showing that between February of 2014 and and the start of May, 2014, she managed to pick up a paltry $175,000 or so and the number jumped up from $7050 to an intimidating $206,000.
What it doesn't show is this: where did it come from and how did it manage to bump her up from $7000 to $182,000? In 5 days of filing time?
Received JUST a bit late (February 10, 2015.... during session) and all of which begs the issue: where did that money come from, and who provided it?
It wasn't from her surplus account... According to her C4 Surplus, she had $27,008... on 31 Dec 2013. I have zero clue where that money went.
On her NEXT C4 Surplus, a year later in covering the time period, for the entire calendar year of 2014, she shows a grand total of... $29.77
But there is nothing in her account documents to indicate anything approaching the amount of money she claims is in her account is anywhere close to that figure of now, $206,000 or so.
That's a lot of money, ladies and germs.
So; how did it get from $7,000 to now, $206,000?
Her PDC's show a total of "74 items," (Donations) to date, listed from the start of this cycle, with her first donation on 9/5/13 for $800..
Between then and the period the of the C4 that shows a $175,000 increase in her account... roughly 7 months or so.
In that time frame, she received 16 donations. If every one of them were a thousand dollars (and they weren't anywhere close to that) she'd only show $16,000 max for the C4 where she was showing almost $200,000.
And why has Rivers allowed that number to be the one showing for her account for far over a year now... when she knows that's not even close to the actual number?
Unless, of course, it's to intimidate many of those who might be thinking, as *I* am thinking... that she can be beaten because of her gas tax betrayal?
In short, she is showing $206,000 but how she got there?
I'd love to know. But I can't figure it out. . And, of course, if this was a "mistake" instead of deliberate, why hasn't she fixed it over the past several months she's known about it?
Maybe she'll explain it to us
But I doubt it.

Did you check loans to her?
ReplyDeleteThe screen shot I grabbed shows 0.00 under "loans" at the very top.
ReplyDeleteAnd who would loan that kind of money almost 2 years in advance?
Just thinking about a ploy to make it look like she has lots of money to scare off challengers.
