It appears, to some degree, the same ting is happening in Northwest Indiana.

Actions of some Lake County Politicians are ignored, given card blanche for continued criminal behavior.

The Department of Justice should look into this, but they won't.

Sad commentary on democracy.

All he really needs is the "Simon"
contributions to fund his campaign.
The rest just runs the well dry for council Democratic candidates to possibly try to tap into.

No doubt filmed in Working Man's Friend where all of those big donors hang out, NOT!

Wow, I am impressed so many people interested in Good Government in Marion County that do not even live in Marion County. A real big hat's off to all of you out of state types. Some of you local yokels are going to have to dig a lot deeper.

It would be nice if not only the occupation was reported but also the employer. I can see some of Smoking Joe's flashy glossy ads: A smiling Joe surrounded by African-Americans, Hispanics and White People. The message trailer Joe Hogsett for all people.
Perhaps another Ad with Joe in his designer jeans, surrounded by some rustic looking folks. A few Union types in Hard Hats. - Trailer Joe Hogsett a friend of the Workers.

Gary @4:43: I thought that comment was a classic, timeless piece that is the main premise of The Democrat Party???

You're going to have to come up with something new. That phrase is tired and worn out, anon. 4:34.

A really clever FBI agent would investigate how big law firms accept payments from clients which are used exclusively for the purpose of contributing to politicians to which they wish to curry favor. The payments are deducted as legal fees in violation of IRS rules, federal money laundering laws are violated and campaign finance laws against using another person as a conduit for making contributions is invoked. This illegal practice has become common among big law firms.

You're right. It appears to include reporting through the end of November. He filed this report right before Christmas.

This doesn't appear to be Hogsett's year end report. It looks like the finance report that was filed when he switched from an exploratory to a regular committee. So he had more than $900k in mid-November. I can't imagine he stopped raising money at that point.
