Barletta Claims Bad Bookkeeping
The illegal $65,000 loan which Lou Barletta's campaign has on its books was a personal loan taken to retire his campaign debt from 2002 according tot he Hazleton Mayor. Essentially, his argument is that this is just bad bookkeeping. That means 22 separate FEC reports listing the loan but no repayments were simply bad, sloppy accounting work by his campaign.
That's a lot of mistakes. I'm sorry but I'm not buying it. First of all, why did it take him two weeks to fashion such a lame excuse? Secondly, if the man is this incompetent why would anyone vote for him for Congress?
This was an illegal loan and he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Next you can expect Barletta to accuse Kanjo of taking money from a Mexican Bank.

LOL Gort. Then he'll pass an ordinance outlawing it and accuse Kanjo of spending pesos in his campaign.
