Arkansas Blog: Wanted: investigative blogger

Wanted: investigative blogger

I've received multiple credible reports that a local church van is in use by a campaign sign crew working for a Little Rock political candidate -- a judicial candidate at that.

I'd like graphic evidence. Should anybody see a church van in use putting up campaign signs, snap a photo with your cell phone and mail it to max@arktimes.com

Why do I care?

1) When churches spend money on a political candidate, they jeopardize their tax-free status.

2) I wonder if the candidate has reported the in-kind contribution to the campaign.

Dang. You guys have all the fun. Over here we just worry about why some roads are paved and why some are not.

This is why "liberals" have a tough time.. they verify.

You know the AR Blog wing-nuts would be posting this item as fact on scores of fascist blogs if it served their anti Democracy purpose.

I wonder if the candidate is even aware of this.

I actually think the mystery van has also been putting signs at intersections without first gaining the permission of the property owner.

Well, do tell - which candidate is it?

ARK. BLOG: Nah. She's not on the ballot this year. And besides, I'm not sure our church has a working van.
