Re: [North Georgia Democrats] Georgia House Speaker David Ralston spent $21,000...

Gail Buckner commented on your post in North Georgia Democrats. Gail Buckner 12:13pm Nov 18 Just as an FYI, back when I served in the GA House, it took $16,000 in postage for me to mail one piece of mail per household. Printing the piece cost about $5,000 - $6,000. The money that I received from the state for me to manage my office was, $7,500, It would have been wonderful if I'd had extra campaign money that I could have used for good project such as this. Needless, to say I was never able to mail from my state expense money. Comment History Frank Gilkeson 9:12am Nov 18 i will look and see if i can find out. must be a way but i don't know how now to get that detail. i know how to get the detail for georgia state. Gail Buckner 9:10am Nov 18 The question then is what did he spend the money on? It could have been expenses that he incurred earlier. $800,000 in a congressional seat is small potatoes. Frank Gilkeson 9:06am Nov 18 he had no opponent when he spent the $800,000 and went into debt. who will come and bail him out. Gail Buckner 8:42am Nov 15 Therefore, Scott did have an opponent. To say that he did not have an opponent is not correct. Darien Southerland 8:21am Nov 15 Gail he had no republican opponent ....
