East Valley Tribune Jilts DemocraticDiva.com
With all the hoopla over the federal election, I’ve been remiss in my local political reading. Color me jilted when I found this Oct. 30th Halloween surprise over at the East Valley Tribune: http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/129288 In case you’re too lazy to click, it’s a story about Andre Campos, his shady Clean Elections expenditures, and his unethical [...]
