Bay Area Houston

Once again this is strange but the right thing to do.

Scott Higginbotham filed a very strange campaign finance report. It didn’t make cents. Literally. As was posted yesterday “In his second report he loaned his campaign another $16,500 leaving an outstanding loan balance of $21,500. He didn’t document over $11,000 in donations. He claims to have spent over $24,000 but documented only about $4000.”

His amended report blamed his treasurer, his wife, for the mistake. It still does not address the $5000 he gave to Nick Long’s PAC and the outstanding loan balance should be &21,500 not $16,500. Scott must be well off to be able to spend $21,500 of his own money for his campaign. Nothing wrong with that. Personally I think it should be against the law for self financing a campaign but this is Texas. Money rules.

League City ought to require all candidates to take a class on how to file a campaign finance report. Justin Hicks could teach it.
