The PDC on the Russell electronic filing complaint.

.
Summary:

The Russell campaign has acknowledged they were out of compliance and have taken the necessary steps to get into compliance by retro-filing electronically.

As a result, there will be no formal investigation. That's just as well, because the whole point of that aspect of the exercise was to get Russell into compliance with the rules which govern every other candidate for state representative.

While other allegations remain outstanding, this one has been put to bed. Thanks go to the Public Disclosure Commission for acting on this issue, and thanks go to the Russell Campaign for taking the needed steps to follow the law.

CCP has filed a PDC complaint against Anthony Bittner

.
I freely admit that politics is a complicated game. Some, quite mistakenly, believe themselves to be good at it (See Jon Russell Watch for a good example) while others desire their 15 minutes of fame while actually completely lacking in anything approaching substance.

Anthony Bittner is just such a person.

Clark County Politics has filed a Public Disclosure Commission complaint against Anthony Bittner because Anthony has shown himself incapable of understanding the transparency aspect of the campaign finance system as embodied by the Public Disclosure Commission.

Anthony has yet to show up at any Republican campaign function. He has missed the 18th District PCO meeting, disrespecting GOP officials; he has missed every candidate forum. He has, in fact, missed every political function since he announced.

That, of course, is his privilege. But the filing of the necessary paperwork to show transparency in campaign finance isn't a suggestion.... it's the law. And Anthony Bittner, as of this writing, hasn't filed any of the required paperwork since April 27th.

And that's illegal. And that's why I filed the complaint against him.

I will be filing another complaint tomorrow against someone who should know better.

Much more to come.
