County Legislator Richard Beebe Files Campaign Disclosure Forms — Better 75 Days Late Than Never
Evidently our public outing of County Legislator Richard Beebe has paid off. He finally filed those legally required financial disclosure forms we first told you about in the beginning of the week. 75 days late is better than never I guess. I’ll be going over them next week and will have a post on it in the middle of next week (I’d do it sooner — but my wife’s family is in from out of town — I hate it when life gets in way of my duties as a citizen journalist).
Stay tuned — gross violations of the spirit and intent of the laws are apparent at a quick glance. Take a look for yourself — I’m pretty sure it is illegal to sandbag your opponent by raising only $2,000 at the time of your last filing and then raising and spending over $15,000 and not reporting it during the election. A friend told me FEC guidelines require that all contributions $1,000 and over have to be reported to the Board of Elections within 24 hours of receipt. This is designed to stop underhanded special interest trickery like this.
I’ll get to work with the research team and get back to you on this next week.

Good research work Cinci. Beebe was also a Village Mayor. Shouldn’t he be familiar with following election law? I wonder if he skirted election law while he was Mayor? I know judgements are filed against you if you break the law. We should check into that also. I’m not versed in election law but I can’t believe that almost 3 months late doesn’t carry some kinda penalty. Let me know what you need done.
I can’t believe this guy is one of our elected officials. Shameful.
