Holy cow, if that article isn't a zinger, I don't know what is. Dan and I usually bicker over things, but I have to give him credit for not holding back on what he sees is right and for not covering up for the "good ole' boy network". Dan is exposing a small example of a larger problem with the entire MaineGOP. All of us that still consider ourselves as Republicans need to take back our party, and this is a start. I have been critical of the MaineGOP and the RNC where I see problems, yet the established "good ole' boy network" in place is quick to shut you down. Honesty and transparency are values any voter can appreciate within a party.
I happen to agree with this post as it applies to both parties in Maine!
I posted an article in Maine majority that no one in the democratic forums have posted! thats about the former gop treasuer taking money out of party funds to buy a camper trailer!
you see you perfect english prose boys are so far off the beaten path you completely msis the oppertunity to alert your fellow bloggers of what is going on!

Former party treasurer’s use of GOP, federal funds to buy camper was kept under wraps

Phil Roy wanted a camper.

It cost $15,000, but he didn’t have the money.

What Roy did have was access to cash.....

Roy....managed a federally funded agency’s checking account ....(and)... the checking account of the state Republican Party, for which he was treasurer.
