FOLLOW THE MONEY


I have always been a little perplexed about why the news media only seems to care about where political campaign money comes from. It is actually very important to know that, but why don't we pay closer attention to where the money goes and who gets it? Do they actually provide services for that money? Is there value recieved?

Since it looks like there will be a million dollar campaign this year for Mayor, it would be great if someone actually checked that the money that was listed as being spent for media really was spent for media. Or let's see where the dollars go that get paid to 'consultants.'

Just a thought.
