To candidates Brian Pariser and Tim Schaffer: What have you promised that it is worth 4 families to put together $7,500, including a $5,500 PAC (Political action committee) for this small municipal election?
This PAC has sent out political mailers/advertisements, filled in my opinion, with political low blows, innuendo and tripe. The PAC has reported raising $5,500 in donations and loans on this single known report with $3,327.15 in expenditures reported to date. CLICK HERE to review the Palmetto Bay Concerned Residents PAC
This is a significant investment in just 2 candidates. What do they expect in return?
And this does not include the personal donations that these residents
have made to your campaigns
The families:
Jack Fell and Pam Reid
Anthony Gorman
Stuart Guthrie Family
Most Palmetto Bay residents are not big donors. It is very unique that in Palmetto Bay, there
appears to be a total of $7,500.00 in campaign monies coming from just four
addresses. This for a single municipal election.
Here are the reported donations to the PAC:
Jack Fell, 7210 Mitchell Drive, Palmetto Bay, FL 33158 $500.00 plus $3,000 loan (not from a
candidate)
Ruth P. Reid, 7210 Mitchell Drive, Palmetto Bay, FL 33158 $500
Anthony Gorman, 14140 SW 72 Avenue, Palmetto Bay, FL 33158, $500
Phyllis Kaplan, 7898 Devonshire Way, Boulder CO 80301 $500 (out of
state money)
