Curiosities...

The Citizens Against Unfair Taxation political committee has submitted three Campaign Treasurer Reports to date. Here are some irregularities that appear on the reports.

First of all, the PAC filed with the County to not alert anyone here in the city of Lake Worth of their creation. Commonly, PACs are filed with the City Clerk's office.

On the first report filed on 6/20/14, $250 dollars of monetary contributions are claimed, with $150 coming from Atlantis resident Dennis Dorsey. Katie McGiveron, for some reason, is listing as having an "in kind" contribution for an "EIN" or Employer Identification Number totaling $147. Last I knew, those are issued free of charge. Is this for her time in completing the process?

On the second report filed on 6/27/14, $475 of monetary contributions are claimed. Laurence McNamara "Realtor" is shown as contributing $100. Jo-Ann Golden, the former Commissioner that wants us to get used to living in a ghetto, is putting her money where her mouth is with an initial contribution of $100. I am sure we will see more money from Jo-Ann and her extended family. They own Golden Paints and have tons of family money. Each member of the family usually donates $500 when it was the maximum in previous campaigns.

On the latest report filed on 7/4/14, Laurence McNamara is now listed as "Retired" - must have missed the party - and has an in-kind contribution for stamps for $49. That would be 100 stamps at 49 cents a piece for first class. However, if you look on their pink envelope mailing, they used two 27 cent stamps.

If you divide 100 by 27 cents you get a fractional number. Did they use 1.8 stamps per envelope? Here is the latest report:
