People in Glass Houses...

Kevin Coughlin makes much of the expenses of the Summit County Republican Party, however, his expenses might make a maharajah blush with shame. So, what expenses did his campaign fund pay for in 2006 alone?

Food, meetings, events: $15,805.31, including a $2,969.69 tab at the Portage Country Club and $850.09 at the private Athletic Club of Columbus.

Firestone Country Club: $7,995.

Mileage: $2,407.40 for Kevin (not including any reimbursements from the State for mileage on official business which will be discussed in a later post), and $7,500.92 for staff mileage.

OSU Football Tickets: $1,944.

Membership to B.J.'s Wholesale: $65

Hypocrisy: Priceless.
