Treasurer candidate's report has math errors

LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Campaign finance reports take some getting used to, and first-time candidate Miriam Kerns admits her quarterly submission falls short.

“Obviously, the math tells us that is incorrect,” she said. “I am new to all of this.”

Kerns, who is running for Tippecanoe County treasurer, said she started the quarter with $179.60 in her campaign coffers, which is documented on the report. She ended the quarter roughly with the same amount, she said, but the campaign finance report indicates she ended the quarter with no money in her campaign.

The reports and the rules are nuanced.

This is obviously just another republican biased report by the JCOnline.

I mean look at how it reads. We're talking about a very small nothing which she knew she was going to ammend. She has dealt with millions of dollars before and never made a REAL error. The same can't be said for her opponent.
