Oops, Kevin Did it Again
Everybody has covered Kevin Knuth's latest campaign finance inquiry. I am not going to pass judgement on it at this time. But there may be unexpected consequences to this complaint.
WOWO will react to this in some way. They will either A. not do political advertising, or B. Make life difficult for Kevin in some way.
But Kevin's bigger problems will be with the PAC Northeast Indiana Political Action Committee for Better Government. Its list of donors reads like a who's who in local political giving. It is comprised of mostly Republicans but has Democrats and Libertarians contributing to it as well.
This is where Kevin will see the most problems. This PAC raises about $200,000 a year. It doesn't take a genius to figure out Kevin's party will get more attention from this group and its members. When all's said and done he may have given local Republicans a banner year for campaign contributions.

Or....since most people give to PACs to avoid the spotlight, many of them may not want to help support the PAC as much.
Basically, the big ones on that list are McArdle (who I have never heard of) and Dick Freeland.
Many of the little ones MAY just drop off the list- it wil be interesting to watch.
These are successful and driven people in our community. I don't see them being scared off by this incident.
I don't know about who the Democrats or Libertarians are- but I did scope out some of the businesses-
Pretty Pines Partners? The Secretary of State office shows the same address for Mark GiaQuinta- whose brother is running as a DEMOCRAT!
This will screw up his chances with his base
My vote goes toward the "Knuth Screw-Up" column. I've been fairly vocal about it myself...but what do I know, I'm new. :o)
