Well be finding out very soon whether the "Biggest Money Talks the Most Loudly"
The third set of 2011 Ogden Municipal Election financial disclosure statements is now posted on the city's web site:
Caldwell has raised an additional $13,410, bringing his total 2011 campaign war chest to the obscene sum of $78,166.57.
Stephenson has added another $5,483, which probably indicates that special interest donors haven't yet completely thrown his candidacy overboard. As of the 11/1/11 filing date, Brandon's now sponged up a total of $26,823, which explains all those giant lawn signs, we guess.
Ward 2 Council Candidate Richard Hyer has hauled in an additional 2500 bucks, with a $1,500 donation from the Wasatch Association of Realtors, and $1,000 from long-time Boss Godfrey crony, Wadman Construction.
It's been a real special interest bonanza of a fundraising month for late-coming At Large "C" write-in "candidate" Richard "Bulldoze the Bench" Safsten too, with another $6,700 added to his war chest, which now comes to a grand total of $9,700.
Do you suspect that special interest donors believe they can buy this election? You bet they do. Well be finding out very soon whether the "Biggest Money Talks the Most Loudly."
