Nodler Leadership Fund doubles maximum contribution to Thomas

It's probably just one of those accounting miracles.
In its October quarterly statement filed today with the Missouri Ethics Commission, the Nodler Leadership PAC reported contributing $2,550 twice the maximum amount to Platte County Auditor Sandra Thomas for her race for state auditor.
Donors are permitted to contribute the maximum amount for both the primary and general election campaigns, and that is exactly what the report indicates was done in this case...except for one thing.
The PAC's contribution for Ms. Thomas' primary campaign came Aug. 22, two weeks after the primary. The general election contribution was made Sept. 10, according to the disclosure form.
The treasurer for both the Nodler Leadership PAC and the Thomas for State Auditor campaign is Joplin CPA Nick Myers.

An the old crip kicker probably paid for the 10 page campaign pamplet I received in the Joplin Daily with taxpayer funds. It isn't credited to a campaign, so I guess it was just to "inform" us on the eve of his election. If that's legal, it shouldn't be!

Randy,
Under Missouri law contributions may be made for a primary for 30 days after the primary election. It sounds to me , from your report that the contributions are just fine.
