Final Campaign Reports Filed for City Election

Final campaign expenditure reports for candidates in April's Grove City Council Election indicate that GrovePAC and its candidates outspent all the other candidates by $20,222 to $6,505, including expenses from GrovePAC itself, the political action committee formed last December. Reports were filed with the City Clerk by deadline time Friday.

According to the C-1 reports filed with the City Clerk, Mike Davenport spent $2898.36 including $504 in radio advertising and $1981.06 in general advertising; Larry Parham spent $7335.25 including $992.75 in radio advertising and $662 in general advertising; Gary Trippensee spent $4951.07 including $250.80 in radio advertising. GrovePAC's final report listed $5,205 in contributions and $5,038 in expenses, including $1,546 in radio advertising. Contributions listed on the final GrovePAC report included $500 for in-kind radio spots from Mike and Audrey Berry of Jay; and in-kind legal services from Logan & Lowry Law Firm of $300.

Total dollars spent on radio advertising by GrovePAC and its candidates came to $3792.00.

Regarding contributions, Trippensee's report indicated a total of $4951.07 with no single individual contributing more than $200; Parham's total contributions on the final report listed $7335.25, the same amount spent, and listed Winston Connor, attorney, for $500 and Chuck & Victoria Perry for $300, as donars; Davenport listed total contributions of $3735, or $837 more than he spent, with Robert Hinkle listed for $325.55.

Nuckolls, Worley and Phillips' initial reports were unchanged (see Grove Observer of 3/30/07). David Adzigian listed a total of $5000.75 in expenses and contributions of $5378.00 on his final report.

It is written in this story that "Nuckolls, Worley and Phillips initial reports were unchanged". This is not correct. Nuckolls filed no reports at all including R-1 and D-1 forms. These must be filed to raise money even if you give it back at a later date!

If she didn't file initial reports, and didn't file subsequent reports, that means initial reports were unchanged.
She never accepted any money and felt she didn't need to file a report, which has been the case in previous elections. Is there any reason to harass her at this point?
