Raleigh Rubber Street: Explained
Jason Saine is a mover and shaker in the House. The guy went from unemployment to vice-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and Chairman of the Finance Committee. You’d THINK the guy would be pretty good with math and record keeping and stuff like that.
Nevertheless, this site AND the board of elections have had to expend quite a bit of effort to stay on him about his campaign finances. We were stumped about one particular expenditure his campaign made to something called “Raleigh Rubber Street.” The state board of elections has deciphered that for us:
East Lincoln Republican Women. Raleigh Rubber Street. * I can, um, SEE how the two could be confused.*
But there was more the board of elections had to tell us:
And then there’s THIS:
Buying meds with campaign funds? (*Little blue pills?*)
And it took him four years to correct it? (Well, if they’ll give you a pass on custom made high-dollar suits and dry-cleaning, THIS should get one too.)
*I, for one, sleep mighty comfortably at night knowing THIS GUY is making all the BIG $$$$ decisions on my and your behalf.*
This is one of the more despicable members of the NC House. BUT, he has expensive clothes! Too bad he still looks like a very large, pudgy man strutting around like he is important. He is a bubble head. God help NC.
Was disappointed to see him speak at the Petty Fish Fry. What a piece of work. Blust was there, but didn’t speak. He could’ve brought the house down.
Gee whatta shame. If only this guy were a black Democrat, he could strut around in RED fancy suits, equipped with RED spats, gloves, bowler, and cane! Except the “funny money” would not be found in any audit, and it would have another 3 zeros on the end, at least.
Saine is a corrupt big government Republican who needs a conservative opponent in 2018. He is a lackey of Big Solar and he voted to repeal bathroom privacy (HB2). His lousy voting record and his rampant misuse of his campaign fund are both a target rich environment.
I would normally say he needs a primary but if the outrageous 30% primary standard becomes law, then that might no longer be the best approach for a conservative challenger. It may be better to run as an Unaffililated Conservative.
