The latest evidence: installment 4.

Not that I've begun to exhaust the supply of evidence of wrongdoing in the federal account, but I thought that now that Rick has the state account up on his website as well, we would take a look at it today. Check # 2325, dated 11/17/08, for $500.00, made payable to "Camden County High School Baseball." No further notation. So, I wonder what the "grateful" baseball players may have been ordered to do to help the floundering Smith campaign? Now, you would think that if a cash strapped CCSO needed $848.00 worth of "office supplies," they would buy them from a major national office supply store in ether Brunswick or Fernandina and get free shipping. Or, maybe buy them at a higher price from our little independent store in St. Mary's for the benefit of the local economy. But suppose you needed to have some things printed - like campaign signs, decals, and literature - and you did not want to use a local shop for obvious reasons. You be the judge. Check # 2299, dated 11/17/08, for $848.00, made payable to "Charlton Printing & Office Supplies, Inc.," notation: "Inv. # 127174; 12168." Now, suppose you've had the most highly paid "simple file clerk" in U.S. law enforcement illegally search all of the criminal data bases restricted to legitimate police inquires in order to dig up dirt on your local critics, but failed to find anything really useful. Where would you go next. You be the judge. Check # 2270, dated 11/19/07, for $629.45, "to "Lexis Nexis," with the notation "Inv. #57085757." And they wonder why I call him "Big Thug" and why folks are afraid NOT to put his campaign signs up when asked. Tune in Monday for installment 5.
