Let’s see… will someone named Seeno just cut the line and buy their way onto city council, or do they prefer the puppet & string approach?
Where does one find the campaign donations list for each council member? Or can someone post them here?
Campaign contributions are public information on Form 460…the information should be found on your city’s website. Here’s the link for Concord:

BFF Out!
I couldn’t be a thief.
I couldn’t be a liar.
I couldn’t take money under false pretenses.
I couldn’t let my ego overcome my character values.
How in the world could I ever become a politician?
I never vote for incumbents.
(Even tho’ voting has dubious value).
I encourage others to do so too.
Agree. All our local incumbents have been bought.
Always love to see the union donations to our politicians. Wonder why the weapons station requires union labor. They pay our politicians.
