I'm going to have to start calling Bob Sweeney and Ed Kemp the Hansel and Gretel of Jefferson County. The trail of bread crumbs they left on the way to using taxpayer funds to pay off political allies could lead even Charles Jaco to some quality journalism.
This is another MEC filing from Ed Kemp, this time paid to Forefront Organizing instead of Frontline Organizing (both run by Mike Dalton), and the dates and times are very close indeed to the decision to use Dalton's front organization group of professional organizers to run an educational campaign for E911.
Committee To Elect Ed Kemp, September 2008
So now we have at least $3300 paid by Ed Kemp to Mike Dalton in 2008 for political purposes, followed by a huge contract that would eventually end with $186,000 of taxpayers money going to a "company" whose very invoices prove they outsourced the work.
I make good money - but I don't make it in one fell swoop from a government contract with no references, no registration in the state of Missouri, and no disclosure that the guys we're paying also happened to work to get me elected.
I'm betting none of you do either.
They all should resign.
