Campaign finance: Mayoral challenger Rick Avila
Rick Avila's most recent campaign finance statement contains the following information for the period from July 23 through Sept. 19:
Monetary contributions: $3,000
Loans received: $1,000
Expenditures made: $3,171.75
Ending cash balance: $0
Contributors include:
Eddie Evans, El-Co Contractors - $2,000
Joe Ramirez, retired - $1,000 loan
Expenses include:
Hilton Hotel promotional event - $2,000




I dont know who Joe Ramirez is but he just lost his $1000. Given Rick's court records of being sued for failure to pay his debts, it is doubtless that retiree Joe will ever see a dime of his grand. I hope that was not his last thousand.
