Noted previously, Stufflebean has given several reasons for filing bankruptcy including his recall fight. A review of the OreSTAR election database does not list any expenses paid by Stufflebean toward his recall fight begging the question, did Stufflebean violate election laws by not reporting campaign expenditures?
Further, has he declared in his bankruptcy filing his disposal of personal assets toward the recall? Is he required to?
My sources have told me that he carried heavy credit card debt back when he worked for the State so he knew a claimed $28,000 pay cut would have a serious impact upon his ability to honor his debts. So why complicate the matter with continued spending on big screen televisions or a recall election?
IF Stufflebean violated campaign laws and IF he improperly filled out the bankruptcy filing, both could meet with harsh penalty, which may explain why The World omitted the claims blaming the campaign and a reduced salary from the original AP article. The World supported Stufflebean during the recall election.
But an Editor has to have balls to do that, doesn’t he?
Ha ha ha, I guess he sits on them too hard when he sits at the SCDC table. Lack of oxygen must explain it.
Other than following orders , why woulnd’t the World print the news?
How much money did Stufflebutt put into his campaign coffers?
Any way to know? Also, what good would it do to find out if no one prints the news?
I did not know that. So, did the paper abbreviate the original Winston Ross article via AP to protect Stufflebean from getting caught in his own lies? Did they perhaps try to verify his claims of a salary drop or campaign expenses and realizing the statements were not verifiable omit them? Why not call him on the inconsistencies and report it to the public? The public should be advised that their elected officials make conflicting statements and act inappropriately, that is what papers are supposed to do.
Of course The World did.
The editor sits on the SCDC board.
