Will April Griffin Endorse Kevin White???
In the world of connecting local political dots…..here’s a strange tidbit.Last month, sleazy county commissioner Kevin White kicked off his latest campaign for re-election. A number of locally recognizable names attended, including La Gaceta publisher Patrick Manteiga.
I kept wondering if Patrick was there simply as an observer…or a supporter.
After doing some easy research, I found out that Manteiga was included in the elections violation case against White. Remember, White was fined $9,600 for trying to claim $4,600 for imported suits as a campaign consulting expense. White was also accused of misspending $1997 for buying a new Dell computer with campaign funds.
That charge was dismissed because Patrick wrote a letter to the elections commission helping White justify the expense. Apparently, Manteiga and LaGaceta had been paid by the White campaign for post card designs and other campaign graphics..and White’s older computer would not accept the La Gaceta downloads.
Then, looking back at White’s campaign expenses in 2006, he spent thousands at La Gaceta for various ads and other design work.
And then I found another interesting name getting paid thousands by White: Brian Griffin, husband of ole April. Holy Moly!!! Brian was doing some voter data work for White.
Now I must wonder: Will Mr. Griffin be asked again by White for the same services…..and will wife April endorse White in his new campaign????
I mean, why not???? After all, she’s endorsed every local Democrat in the past….April goes where Patrick goes…and we know Patrick endorsed White four years ago despite being on the White campaign payroll. Hey, birds of a feather flock.
On the other hand……..would the oh-so-squeaky-clean April think White a potential campaign stain??

Oh wow, you're outing her husband. Turn this same eye on Hagan, Norman and blair. SO MUCH OF THIS GOES ON. Where is the information on the other school board members. I agree with everything you say here. Apply it evenly. They all stink to high heaven. LOL
