Carol Spencer Blog Follows the Money: Serious campaign finance violations in Bastrop City Election by Harris & DeLaRosa, Kirkland's developer influence

City Council Member Kevin Plunkett's transfers of developer contributions to John Kirkland, who is up for reelection: partners in the recall Lyle lie.

Bastrop's City Election is rife with campaign finance violations and developer influence and not getting the attention -- and accuracy -- in the local media that it really deserves.

Today, Bastrop blogger, Carol Spencer, did a great report on campaign finance violations by several candidates. In short, two of the three mayoral candidates -- Harris and DeLaRosa -- have serious campaign finance violations. Spencer also diagrams and provides lots more on Council Member John Kirkland's help from Council Member Kevin Plunkett, who are making it clear why they were so hot-to-trot (on the City's time and dime) to recall Lyle Nelson based on a lie that Nelson was involved in "misuse of funds."

There's another doozy coming soon!
