DON'T EXPECT TO FIND OUT WHAT MOST TC AND SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES ARE RAISING OR SPENDING

If you want to find out how much each of this year's candidates for the Board of Education and the Township Committee are spending, or how much they are raising, or who is giving it to them or what they are spending it on, too bad.

State law requires only that they disclose their contributions and spending if they raise $4,500 or more or receive contributions of $300 or more each.

Each candidate, except for school board challengers Elizabeth Baker and Maureen Jones, have filed papers indicating they plan to do neither. So that information is their own secret.

Jones and Baker said they plan to file a post-election document revealing their expenses and contributions. But nothing before Tuesday.

All but school board candidate Godwin Molokwu, who has apparently not filed any such disclosure forms as required by state law. He did not respond to a request for comment.

Of course if any of these candidates wish to disclose their fundraising and spending practices, we would be glad to report them.
