Council candidate reports free massage in campaign finance report

April 3rd, 2011, 7:19 pm · 4 Comments · posted by

Campaigning must be really stressful.

Just ask Val Snider, who is running for one of five at-large City Council seats in Tuesday’s election.

In his latest report of campaign contributions and expenditures, Snider reported receiving a free massage from “Rita Ann Atencio Leasure” on March 28.

The massage, valued at $60, was reported as an in-kind contribution.

But hey, give Snider credit, at least he filed his report on time.

According to the City Clerk’s Office, council candidates Tony Carpenter and Tim Leigh failed to file their reports by Friday’s deadline.

Leigh, who was named in a campaign finance complaint initially filed with the state and then with the city last week, has struggled to meet campaign finance reporting requirements.

Records show that Leigh has filed late or incomplete reports in the months leading up to the election.

Brandy Williams, who also is running as an at-large candidate, filed her report two days late, according to the city clerk’s website.
