School board candidate Cathy Truitt burned through a good chunk of her campaign money before the runoff.
This campaign report Truitt filed today showed that she had $621.39 left as of Oct. 19. She's spent most of the $19,425.31 she's raised so far.
Truitt continued to get most of her contributions from members of Greater Garner Advocates.
Candidates and PACs who've spent money as part of next week's still scheduled District 2 runoff have to have reports postmarked by today. No reports were in this morning for John Tedesco or any of the PACs.
Candidates in races without a runoff don't have to file until the end of the year.

she should get an award.

If you could bottle this and sell it to the millitary, you'd be rich.

Anyway, it looks like we need to keep the campaign on to make sure John Tedesco is elected. At this point, it's only a week to go anyway. We might as well just keep on moving.
I'd like to see Cathy try to clean up the mess she's made and urge folks to vote for Tedesco like she indicated she would.
She should give the $621.39

How about the runoff expense?
Tue, 10/27/2009 - 12:51 — g88ky07I think she owes him something more like 10 GRAND+ and then the county somewhere around 30 GRAND! Money that would not have needed to be spent had she made the decision on October 7th that she "supposedly" made last week!
As she stated last Tuesday, she doesn't want to tell how much money she can command from her consulting business "per day", so since she's raking it in, the 40 GRAND shouldn't be a surprise when she gets the bills!
