Kelly v. Dallas: You say REFUND, I say PARTY CONTRIBUTION.
“What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.” — Cool Hand Luke, 1967 ________ I guess it is all in the eye of the B.S. artist. In an earlier post, we raised questions about a $5000 payment from NCGOP headquarters to the campaign of state…

#ncga: A primary for Kelly Hastings
He’s played games with his campaign fund — paying himself, paying family. He’s taken a walk on key votes in the House. He’s hung so close to leadership (i.e., Speaker Timmy) that he has a permanent brown stain on his nose. His unfiltered Facebook commentary…
#ncga: STILL paying themselves with campaign funds

#ncga: Kelly Hastings. No opponents. But STILL paying himself from campaign funds.
