a dog-eared town

There is a small press release on the PolitickerNH website that someone pointed out on an email list. It’s one of those press releases you see every day but it makes me wonder.

The political group known as “New Hampshire Advantage Coalition” has apparently violated NH election law and may have violated nonprofit tax law by failing to file its required financial disclosures, failing to put disclaimers on its election materials, and by using its nonprofit status to promote the candidacy of its two leaders, Mike Biundo and Tammy Simmons, according to a complaint filed with the New Hampshire Attorney General by former NH Democratic Party Chair Kathy Sullivan.

Does Ms Sullivan have so little to do that she’s tracking small time anti-tax groups, or are the democrats so worried that they’ll do just about anything to stop them?

The Union Leader has a small story about what the State Attorney General will do.

But Ayotte yesterday wrote Sullivan that she has assigned the complaint to the Elections Unit of her office and, promises, “It will be given appropriate priority given the upcoming state primary and general elections.”

Sounds to me like nothing will be done about the issue but it makes me wonder whether or not this anti-tax group is that effective or the democrats are so unsure of themselves that they will stop at nothing to keep their election advantage.

Definitely a story to keep an eye on for the future.
