Turns out they overruled a previous post.
Joe Machol is a former NFL referee until he was removed from officiating after some kind of ethics violations. He sued buy never returned to officiating. If interested you can read about it here.
But back to the instant replay. On further review Machol has not violated campaign finance laws for not submitting a campaign finance report. When he filed his Appointment of Treasurer (late) he stated he would not be raising or spending more than $1110 and therefore does not need to file a periodic report. That is news to me but that is why Machol has not reported.
Besides being an absolute horrible candidate for School Board, even worse than Misty Dawson, he is running a very strange campaign. His signs are generic “vote for Joe” signs with no mention of the office he is running for and the “Paid for by” statement that is required on all advertisements. He has placed some signs with handwritten notices. There’s no push cards, mailers, flyers, Facebook ads. Nothing. It is strange.
And his viral video of him losing it at a Seabrook meeting didn’t help him. Or skipping a forum. Or submitting a blank Bio.
But there is still time for a political PAC to send out mailers in support of Bowen and Machol. Machol can then plead ignorance. Watch for it.
