No less than 21 candidates for city offices failed to submit required campaign finance reports last Friday. CP's got the names.
Updated: A helpful list of candidates who broke city law by failing to disclose finances
The ElectionEar is a good listener; send tips here.
CORRECTION: This article incorrectly stated that Councilman Wilson Goode, Jr. had not filed his Cycle 2 campaign finance report. Councilman Goode did file, under the Committee "Forum 2007." We apologize for this error.
UPDATE: Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown filed her Cycle 2 report on May 12, 2011.
UPDATE: 2nd District Candidate Verna Tyner's campaign told CP her report had been filed on May 6, but due to a "computer glitch" was not available. It is now online.
According to Board of Ethics Director Shane Creamer, no less than 21 candidates for city offices failed to submit required campaign finance reports last Friday — a breach of the city's campaign finance law, which requires all candidates and candidate committees for city office to file pre-primary "Cycle 2" reports electronically with the Board of Ethics.
Because failure to submit the reports could possibly result in an enforcement action, Creamer said, he could not give CP the names. Creamer said that letters have gone out to those in violation of the law.
But thank God for electronic campaign finance reporting (a feature the city's Board of Ethics offers but which the City Commissioners, who oversee far more campaign finance information, do not), which let CP figure out who culprits were anyway!
According to CP's own review of electronic campaign documents, the following candidates (all of whom are still on the ballot) failed to submit campaign finance reports on time:
Vern Anastasio (1st Council District, D)
Suzanne Carn (5th Council District, D)
Bobbie Curry (9th Council District, D)
Michael Jones (Council, At-Large, D)
Humberto Perez (Council, At-Large, D)
Blondell Reynolds Brown (Council, At-Large, D) *(Submitted May 12, 2011, see above note)
Damon Roberts (2nd Council District, D) *(Roberts has announced his withdrawal)
Lamont Thomas (9th Council District, D)
Verna Tyner (8th Council District, D)* (now available online; see above note)
Jacque Whaumbush (Sheriff)
