Money “Trail” in Open Joel Anderson AD 77 Seat
From my post at FlashReport… Although I might put it a tad more tactfully then “Criticus” did (below) on San Diego Rostra this morning (see Campaign Money in Assembly 77 Race), the overall message is similar for those vying in the open Joel Anderson State Assembly seat: Uhhhh, you’d better step it up.
