Another violation for Griswold

Rex Griswold has made another campaign finance violation in his bid for Mayor. Once again, there will be no penalty for the violation. Its interesting to see the back in forth in the comments section between the Griswold fans and the Scott Smith fans. I am not going to get into the who is donating to whom stuff, but the guy should have known better than to take corporate contributions. Thats a fairly known portion of the law.

Griswold Watch has an interesting take on this and even links to the campaign finance reports which have been posted on one of our favorite blogs, the Sonoran Alliance.

Smith's Report
Griswold's Report
Walters' Report

I do have to say, its pretty funny that we have to rely on a blog to get campaign finance reports. The good old City of Mesa providing excellent customer service once again.

I emailed the city and requested the reports for every candidate in the last election. They emailed me a .pdf file of ALL of them.

Good things come to those who ask...

But shouldn't they be online? Why should we have to ask?

Good point, perhaps we should work with the City Clerk to make it so.
