In a stroke of his official pen, Gene Lemon has vindicated me and finally brought a much-awaited end to the vicious accusations and outlandish statements by Clancy Jayne. Below are Mr. Lemon's words, in a letter dated March 4th, regarding the various complaints filed by my former opponent (your former representative). These complaints were filed against me after he got a good old fashioned whoopin' at the polls last September:
Dear Ms. Gorman:
Thank you for your thorough and timely response to the Commission's Order Requiring Compliance issued February 10, 2005, and for agreeing, within the time allowed, to amend your campaign finance reports to achieve full compliance with the requirements of A.R.S. 16-948 (C).
Your response enables me to find:
*All expenditures of campaign funds by Gorman 20054 were for direct campaign purposes in compliance with Commission rules.
*The amendments to your campaign finance reports satisfy the requirements of A.R.S 16-948 (C).
*The amendments to your campaign finance reports satisfy the requirements of A.A.C. R2-20-109(A)
*No violation of the provisions of A.R.S. 16-948 (C) pertaining to petty cash was committed by Gorman 2004.
*No illegal contribution was received by Gorman 2004 in connection with its transactions involving the procurement and mailing of four-color campaign literature in the campaign.
Accordingly, I will recommend that the proceedings in the captioned matters be terminated, that the matters be closed an that a final order to those effects be entered.
Sincerely,
L. Gene Lemon
External Investigative Consultant
