Mathieson selectively shines light

Gag alert. Former Delegate and chronic negative campaigner Bobby Mathieson continues his combover campaign in filing a recount to save his government job service. But one thing on his “press release” was a laugher!

He’s doing this recount “provide citizens the opportunity to shine a bright light on the electoral process” and “he will always stand for good government, for transparency, and for serving the public interest.” Oh really?

If he was so interested in shining “a bright light on the electoral process,” he could’ve announced his correct cash on hand total throughout the campaign like every other campaign had to.

Nope, he got to show a ZERO on every report. He wasn’t interested in shining a bright light on that. He never bothered to meet the same disclosure requirements that every other candidate in Virginia had to meet, but now he’s committed to “transparency!”

Hey, Bobby! You can’t suddenly decide to be interested in “transparency.” Your aide embezzled money from you since you first won in 2007, and he was convicted of embezzlement in 2004. That was transparent enough, since you didn’t notice it for nearly two years.

Your cash on hand numbers were wrong every time you filed them.

Even worse, once the embezzlement was discovered around Labor Day, your “transparent” campaign finance reports showed ZERO cash on hand each time pending the police investigation that lasted until after Election Day.

Why did it take two months to investigate one checkbook and one aide?

And why, if you’re so interested in “transparency” didn’t you issue a press release each reporting deadline telling the public your cash on hand? You knew Villanueva’s cash on hand throughout the campaign. Why didn’t you insist on playing by the same rules?

The only transparent thing is the real motive of this recount, and it’s nothing so high and mighty as “a light on the electoral process” or “transparency.” It’s Mathieson lost the race and this is his only chance to change that into a win.

If he just said that, I’d respect him enough. But the blather in that press release was too much to take.
