If you are reading this, it has been sixteen days since the Committee to Elect House Republicans (CTEHR) was publicly informed of the need to submit corrected campaign finance reports to the Secretary of State’s Office to account for missing expenditures totaling nearly $170,000.00.
If you’ve been following the story, you’ll know that, according to whistleblowers, it has been more than 65 days since they were made aware of the discrepancies (and just as long since complaints were filed with the Secretary of State). Errors that have carried over and accumulated over two years of incomplete filings.
Back on February 3, we reported on a 2/2 email in which the committee announced that had it been told of the issues, the CTEHR would have promptly corrected them—by promptly, they mean in a geologic context. The committee has had more than two months at best and two weeks at least to account for missing money.
As of Monday morning, my sources say no corrections could be found. I requested that corrections be sent to me as soon as they were available so I could update the reporting and correct the record, but I have not received them either.
Given what could be mistaken as money laundering amongst the Committee to Elect House Republicans’ principal members, would it be a stretch to suggest that they can’t tell us where the money went or how it was spent?
If not, why?
My other sense is that NH House Republican leadership, which is in charge of the PAC, is waiting for the matter to go away, but my readers are the kind of people who would donate to a PAC to help get Republicans elected to the NH House. They would like, very much to see how their donations were spent.
And, of course, you can’t blame anyone else this time because it is your shitty accounting. Someone completed inaccurate or incomplete reports (on multiple occasions), and the Speaker signed them. It’s all on you to straighten it out. So do it. Keep your word. Take care of it.
Promptly: With little or no delay; immediately.
We’ve got plenty of time to keep reminding you. It has also come to our attention that there are a number of other suspicious interactions related to Casinos in Hampton and Concord with some of the same people. As circumstantial evidence, they don’t amount to much separately but taken in conjunction with the other shenanigans, a culture of corruption begins to emerge.
I suggest you get your House in Order because it is Our House. You’re just squatting in it with our permission, and if you f*ck this up, we’ll all end up paying for it.
