Tom Feeney Spends with the Best of Them
June 18, 2008
[via Scott Maxwell and the Orlando Slantinel]
Tom Feeney tops himself in sending out campaign materials on the government dime this year at $188,744. And considering we are only five months into the year he is looking to top almost $377,000. [I only counted 10 months as the election in November will probably mean that he doesn't really need to notify his constituents about "important issues" such as campaign slogans"]. Last year he cut it short at $164,000.
But he also has the nerve to claim that he is saving us from pork. I also love the irony that it is an anti-earmark earmark. Just pony up and actual propose a real bill, campaign on that. Not more earmarks. Besides, what has been his track record in working/voting/speaking against the GOP earmarks for the years prior to being in a tough campaign. It seems they have been the big spenders that has gotten us into the mess.
Scott Maxwell [OG article here] makes the point that this should a an interesting campaign. Especially if Tommy-Boy keeps mailing out the material to his opponent [Suzanne Kosmas]

I think Scott Randolph just did the same thing. Check yesterday’s mailbox.

I didn’t get one. But I might give the liberal a pass, spending is in the dem’s blood. Plus he isn’t sending them out to advertise he is against spending.
[disclaimer, I like Scott and let one of his placards sit in my yard while I waited to vote for him, I am biased]

Is this a Kosmas leaning site. Because Clint Curtis is running for office to unseat Feeney. He has been working on Feeneys corruption since 2000. Kosmas just wants to take the prize for all his hard work. Just check out http://www.Bradblog.com to check out the whole Clint Curtis story. Brad has covered it since 2004. I am a democrat and I will never vote for Kosmas now or ever.

No, not a Kosmas leaning site. Actually I am painfully unaware of the race and this is the first time I am checking out either. Curtis is interesting but Kosmas seems to be the appointed one.
