Matt Kelty, Republican nominee for mayor here in Fort Wayne, will have a news conference Thursday at noon about his campaign finance report:
Last week Kelty submitted paperwork to the Allen County Election Board identifying his campaign manager and one of his campaign advisers as the source of funds Kelty has called personal loans to his campaign.Filing a fraudulent campaign finance report is a Class D felony. Candidates can be removed from the November ballot for four reasons: a felony conviction, moving outside the jurisdiction, death or resigning voluntarily before July 15.
No matter what you think of Kelty, it should be an interesting news conference.
P.S.: Still nothing about the controversy on his web site.
Are you a supporter?
Nah. It’s just that I’m always concerned when a candidate shows an apparent lack of transparency about finances.
