S t's time for the November elections, and that,
if you can't tell by the dense fields of ink
below, means it's tiifie for Flagpole's bi-annual
accounting of where all the campaign cash
comes from (there's another filing period for
disclosures of contributions immediately before
the election, which makes it difficult—uninten
tionally, we're sure—to give you an absolutely
up-to-date reckoning of from whose largesse our
candidates have benefited). The contributions
listed below are those of $101 or more (smaller
contributions are included in the totals but not
listed individually) on record through Sept. 30
of this year. The contributions pertaining to the
local mayor and commission races date back
to the beginning of last October; the Western
Circuit judicial race reporting is for this calendar
year; and the reporting for U.S. Congressional
District 10 dates back to the beginning of 2009.
You can find this information and more at the
websites of the Athens-Clarke County government
(www.athensclarkecounty.com), the Georgia State
Ethics Commission (www.ethics.georgia.gov) and
the Federal Election Commission (www.fec.gov).
