It is amazing that a candidate who asks for our trust and confidence can’t or won’t comply with the laws of the State Ethics Commission. It seems that Mr. Edwards has not bothered to itemize his expenditures for either this election or the last one according the the other (subscription) newspaper. He listed that he has spent to date $5189 and with all the newspaper adds that he has run since the report deadline and when that newspaper reported this, it will likely be much more! All paid for by the candidate! If you look at what the paper said he spent two years ago the last time he ran and assume he will spend at least that amount then he has spent over $20,000 of his own money to "get" a council seat. Why would he spend $20,000?? something smells! Either he just didn't want to list his contributors he may want to change the sign ordinance and Land Use Plan (interviw Fayette News 9-3-09).
