I accuse
"a common generic expression of outrage and accusation against someone powerful."
There have been a lot of accusations lately.
The November meeting of the Linn Couunty Republican Central Committtee was full of hysterical exhortations.
Go Go Go. Do Do Do. Crisis Crisis ACT ACT ACT
The ETHICS Commitee the RPI!!
We must DO something!!!
A carefly choregraphic agenda was rushed to fruitition,
Now that the hysteria is in the past reflection indicates something much different
We were given to believe that there was some Crisus that DEMANDED action by the State Ethics Board and the State RPI.
The situation was DESPARATE!!
Now bear in mind this meeting was on November 18
BUT according to an email by Megan Tooker Director and Legal Counsel of the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board on Monday November 24 it was the previous Friday that they received anything from the Linn County Chair?
This is what I received from Xxxx. I was out of the office on Friday so I didn’t see it until this morning. We’ll take a look at it and be in touch with you if we have any questions for you.
And I find WHAT was received to be VERY confusing considering the drama and hysteria of the meeting.
To Quote the Summary of the DR2 Document
After looking over the various LCRCC financial statements and DR-2 forms, there does appear to any misuse of funds or other intentionaly deceitful practices.
(emphasis added)
Now I ask anyone reading this. Does the above sound like a CRISIS?
Interesting note about the RPI legal counsel we were told demanded draconian measures in this catastrophe.
By the Wednesday after the Tuesday meeting they were no longer employeed by RPI neither the reason and where they had relocated being forth coming.
Now the DR-2 form sent to the State Ethics Board almost3 days AFTER our Monthly meeting where were lead to believer their was some Sword of Damocles Investigation hovering above the head of the Central Committee
DID list some errors.
It seems there were quite a few instances where checks from couples had the wrong spouse listed as the originator,
I mean that IS the sort of thing we put people in prison for isn't it?
Therre were deposits not made in a timely manner BUT I will note that at the November meeting the Treasureer still had yet to receive the take from the October meeting's Chilli Cook Off,
Not that this situation in any means effects the Central Committee in ANY negative manner.
Well MAYBE we might lost a few fractions of a cent daily interest?
I will provide here a link to the
so everyone can SEE all the horrible issues in it.
As for myself?
To paraphrase Hamlet?
I smell something Rotten in the County of Linn
UPDATE: I forgot to mention there was one check where the Treasurer used the wrong checkbook and wrote it on the LCRCC account rather than another organization with which he is afilliated
Upon discovery of his mistake he cut a second check to correct the error and notified the Ethics Board of the mistake
From what I can see THAT is the most serious error.
