The Plot Thickens in Disclosuregate, Richard Beebe and Ted Nixon Fail to Report Campaign Expenses!
If you remember back in the fall, both Richard Beebe and Ted Nixon advertised on Rochesterturning.com, the extremely leftist website that hates all things Republican.
As aspiring young website creators, Monroerising decided to review the legally required campaign disclosure filings to find out what a website like ours could charge for advertising. Low and behold, we discovered that Ted Nixon doesn’t list any expenses for the advertising on Rochesterturning and as previously reported here, Richard Beebe has not reported any of his campaign expenses since the 32 pre-general election report.
The plot has definitely thickened. Nixon and Beebe should report these expenses immediately. And the folks over at Rochesterturning, they have to realize that even though they are operating in a new political medium, they still need to follow the rules regarding political campaigns.
Oh, and one more thing, since Rochesterturning is so good at telling everyone else what they should be doing — we have a suggestion for them. While they are certainly not journalists in any sense, they should adopt some ethical standards. Is it ethical to take money from political candidates and then do “investigative” posting trashing these candidates’ opponents?
We at Monroerising will not accept advertising from any politicians — we recognize the need to avoid any appearance of money influencing what we post about. We encourage all other blogs to follow suit.

Wow, this is rather serious! Either be it blatant disregard for legal procedures or if it is he has something to hide, all very disconcerting.
It is nice to finally find a website that is concerned with informing the people about what’s really going on.
Thanks for keeping it honest and keep it up!
Great post Cincy! I can’t believe this guy hasn’t filed his reports. Too bad the Working Families Party couldn’t take of that for him!
Both gentlemen have an obligation to the citizens for their respective districts to come clean on their use of funds. Also, I believe Rochester Turning should be ashamed of the way they treat people who have different views then their own. America wasn’t build on degrading other citizens, it was built by coming together and using collective views for the betterment of society. The folks over there should remember that. Cinc, I think it is a great thing for not allowing the views of this blog to be bought.
