Joe Runions Uses Lobbyist And Pro-Sexual Predator Campaign Donor For Smear Campaign After It Is Revealed Runions Used $21,261 In Grandview Tax Dollars For All Expense Paid Trips
August 4, 2012
This week voters in Grandview learned that Chris Moreno’s opponent, Joe Runions, used $21,261 in tax dollars on all expense paid vacations. Following the news, today, voters received an attack letter in the mail from a downtown lobbyist and a Runions’ campaign advisor, in what appears to be a desperate attempt to regain control of his race despite an 8 to 1 money advantage
In response, Chris Moreno has issued the following statement:
“This week voters learned that Joe Runions wasted over $21,261 of their hard earned tax dollars on all expense paid trips to lavish hotels, party boats, vacation spots and even a Yakov Smirnoff concert.
Therefore it is not surprising that the Runions campaign would send out a letter from a lobbyist and major campaign donor, Mike Talboy, who this spring, before retiring, helped lead the charge to remove over 5,000 sexual predators annually from the sex offender registry (HB1700).
This further proves that I will be a strong voice for the redevelopment of Truman Corners, the creation of jobs, safer communities, and a leader against government waste; all of which my opponent has opposed throughout his entire career. I will continue knocking on doors and ask for your vote on Tuesday.”
