campaign finance, Eric Greitens., governor, Misouri Ethics Commission, missouri

Yeah, right.

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission for Eric Greitens’ (r) 2016 gubernatorial campaign:

C151053 02/25/2016 GREITENS FOR MISSOURI Market Street Bancshares, Inc. PO Box 908 Mount Vernon IL 62864 2/25/2016 $50,000.00

[emphasis added]

Illinois! Maybe they have a governor there they don’t like.

This probably does make the low dollar folks who only contributed $5,001.00 feel bad.

campaign finance, HRCC, Misouri Ethics Commission, missouri, Rex Sinquefield

Yesterday, at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C091068 12/21/2011 HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE INC Rex Sinquefield 244 Bent Walnut Lane Westphalia MO 65085 Retired 12/21/2011 $100,000.00

That’s serious money. Why, that could pay for a lot of robocalls.

The HRCC ran robocalls like this in 2010:

HRCC robocall in the 121st Legislative District: desperation and homophobia (October 27, 2010)

….

Female voice: This is an urgent alert for all Christian families. Before you vote you should know that state representative candidate Courtney Cole has taken hundreds in campaign donations from a representative of the hard core pornography industry, including gay pornography. By allowing her Democratic campaign to be funded by those who are involved with and support hard core pornography Courtney Cole clearly does not share our Christian family values. On election day stand up for what’s right and decent by voting no on Courtney Cole. Paid for by House Republican Campaign Committee, Inc.

….

You think they’ll do it again? Does a bear…? Just asking.
