To the Editor:
In his letter to the LCN last week, Chris Johnson closes by writing the following: “If you’re fed up with the role of money in our elections…”
This is absolutely hilarious coming from man whose campaign spent $215,000 for a state senate seat. Of that $215,000, $190,000 was from “outside spending, and $100,000 of the independent expenditures was “negative” expenditures. Les Fossel spent a total of $33,000. Read it again.
Total Fossel expenditures: $33,000
Perhaps someone acquainted with Mr. Johnson should have taken a portion of those funds and purchased a dictionary, with the word “Irony” boldly highlighted.
