TC CANDIDATE LEMBRICH'S CAMPAIGN SPENDING TOPS $32,000
We reported in July that Lembrich, who along with Adams beat incumbent Jerry Ryan in the Democratic primary, had spent more than $27,000 in that race.
The most recent documents filed earlier this month indicate Lembrich's total campaign warchest to date is $33,988.24, with 32,861.58 spent so far.
We had previously reported that Lembrich had loaned himself $10,000.
Adams, who ran in the primary with Ryan, filed a statement during the primary indicating that they had raised just under $5,000, with $1,000 of that coming from the Maplewood Democratic Committee.
In the general election, however, Lembrich and Adams are running together against Republican nominee Phyllis Scalera. As a joint committee of two, Lembrich and Adams have filed a statement indicating they do not plan to raise and spend more than $8,500, which means they are not required to file an exact amount of expenditures or detail contributors.
Scalera filed a similar statement last spring.
Election Day is Nov. 3.
SETH BOYDEN 'SPIRIT DAY' REPLACES HALLOWEEN - BUT WEAR THEIR GARB INSTEAD OF A COSTUME
The weekly newsletter announcing the substitute holiday even urges them to buy the garb from the school store.
Apparently, excluding students who do not want to wear costumes is not okay, but making students feel left out if they do not choose to wear Seth Boyden gear on the same day is fine.
See the newsletter notice below:
Friday - Oct. 30 - Spirit Day - Wear your Seth Boyden t-shirts
and sweatshirts. If you need some SB gear, go to sethboyden.com
and click on the Merchandise tab.
