I apologize that I failed my South DaCola readers for not catching on to this before the general election, but someone knocked me upside the head about it last night. It seems that most of Huether’s in-kind support, came from Mike himself.
But first with the fun stuff I like to nitpick. While I have been a strong advocate for unions and the EFCA, I found it very, very, odd they would give Huether money;
This is a guy who probably never worked a union job in his life, a guy who climbed the corporate ladder all by his lonesome, a guy who probably developed strategies to solicit credit cards to working class people who couldn’t afford them, and as far as I can tell, never helped the employees of First Premier Bankcard form a union. Maybe Sy is right, the unions really do have their heads in their asses.
I also found it interesting that ‘Mr. I’m getting screwed over by the city.’ had all kinds of money to hand out to mayoral candidates, and Mike couldn’t resist the salt-lick.
That’s gonna cost yah, Mike.
But let’s move on to the big stuff, first the summary (NOTE: I have edited these images for spacing reasons)
Does it seem too weird? I mean, he got good direct contributions and his In-Kind is over the top, until you see who his major In-Kind supporter is;
(I edited out contributors who were not Mike, which only amount to $1,558.07)
That’s right kiddies out of the $53,022.67 dollars in In-kind contributions, $51,464.60 of it came right out of Mike’s pocket. Talk about personal aspirations.
I could say a multitude of things about this, but talk amongst yourselves (in the comments area of course).
