Kerry's expenses: That's the tickets

WASHINGTON - Sen. John F. Kerry tapped campaign funds for Red Sox tickets and to pay nearly $300 in overdue Boston parking tickets in March, records show.

Kerry's Senate campaign committee wrote a $287 check to the City of Boston Parking Clerk on March 31, 2005. The Bay State senator listed ``travel expense'' as the purpose for the expenditure.

Kerry leased a car for campaign-related travel in Massachusetts that was cited for about a half-dozen parking tickets in Boston

QUOTE (Boston Herald)
A Federal Election Commission spokesman said congressmen are entitled to pay for parking tickets and other expenses from their campaign funds as long as they were ``campaign-related.''


You don't think things like that are going to happen while you or your staffers are out campaigning? Boon Mee, there are all sorts of expenses that any political party has to endure, expected or unexpected.

I've seen this because I volunteered my time during 2004. Something like that didn't happen to me, but I seen at least one staffer get a parking ticket because that person had trouble finding a parking spot at an event. There are all sorts of expenses that you can't even start to imagine, that will immediately come into focus, once you start down the road to campaigning.

True enough, Grizzley. It's the abuse of those in power who think they are "privliledged" by not paying parking tickets or using funds not sanctioned for those purposes that gets up ones nose.

Just more proof of what a dirt bags Kerry and crew really are.
