There were some minutes, but mostly they did not cover the detail that one would want. Mr. Gorman did a good job once he took over for Ted P. but it was late in the game. As you are aware the office of state prosecutor handled the investigation, several members including myself cooperated with them and provided what records we had. They filed three charges and perjury was one of them. Not sure what your statement “this appears..” is getting at, but it is all over but the sentencing of Ms. Taylor.

Thanks for replying, Joe. I appreciate you asking the right questions. What was the response from the rest of the central committee to your requests for reports and statements? Are there minutes from these meetings? This appears to go way beyond perjury.

Thank you for the question. Yes, I was a member, but not an officer in this particular central committee. I repeatedly asked for reports and bank statements, if you were ever at a meeting you would have heard it. I also reviewed all filed reports with the state campaign finance office (available on line) on my own, no one suspected that she would commit perjury also! I also was heavily involved with investigation, along with others, once the theft was known for sure. Carrie was the Treasurer and was solely responsible for the funds of the committee, she failed in her duties and our justice system did its job. End of a sad story!
