Haughawout, Carthage; $200 from retired Judge Herbert Casteel, Carthage; $500 from Carthage Pump Supply, $200 from Jack and Mareece Robbins, Carthage; and $100 apiece from Laurence Flanigan, Carthage; George Flanigan, Carthage; and Ron and Marilyn Schultz, Joplin, for a total of $3,175. So far, Hensley has spent$1,426.50, according to the disclosure report, all going toward advertising.
So far, Bartosh has not filed his quarterly report; the deadline for doing so is Monday. The other write-in candidate, Carthage Fire Chief Bill Rowland, has not formed a campaign committee, indicating he is not in the fundraising mode.
