Inquiring Minds Want to Know

Candidate financial reports make puzzling reading sometimes.

Take N.C. Senate candidate David Blust's 2nd quarter 2006 report, fer instance.

Scroll down to Expenditures ... lingering, if you will, on the names of those who gave him big bucks back during the primary ... but scroll down.

On May 5th, 2006, Blust paid his own company, Blust Properties, $3,541.23 for "advertising." Then on May 31st, he paid Blust Properties another $3,500.00, again for "advertising."

Year-to-date paid to Blust Properties ... $7,164.23.

That's about a third of all his campaign expenditures listed year-to-date, $22,630 ... paid to his own company. For "advertising."

Hmmm.
