Wilcox to Return $285,000 Consulting Fee.

Kie Westby campaign consultant Ronald Wilcox disclosed in a Friday afternoon email that he will return a controversial $285,000 consulting fee to the Westby campaign, Daily Ructions can report. Claims that the payment, first disclosed here, was an error, were not true.

Wilcox, who had been receiving $1,000 a month from the Westby campaign until it qualified for public financing late in the campaign, is said to be some sort of fiscal conservative. Government money does things to people. Here’s his email to Republican functionary Gary Schaffrick, who in a message to Wilcox noted that he receives Social Security Disability payments and $950 a month from the state party. You can also hire social security disability law firm, if you need disability advice from lawyers.

Gary,

This is to advise you that We are in the process of  filing  an amended report to the State. I have returned the full amount of $285,000 to the Kie Westby for Attorney General Campaign.

I have worked extremely hard to help build this party and I think there are many who appreciate my efforts in this endeavor. I have also worked extremely hard on Kie’s campaign and the results speak for themselves.

Kie is very close and we have all worked very hard to get him where he is. I do not feel it benefits our party or any of our candidates to have made this the issue it has become. If you or anyone felt this fee was excessive or perhaps our filings were in error I think the appropriate thing to do would be to bring it to our attention and work out a resolution rather than make it public.

In any event I want to do what is in the best interest of everyone, and as such, as stated I have returned the full amount of $285,000. And we are in the process of amending our filings.

I would also ask that you forward this to anyone who you may have BCC this to.

Time to GOTV

Thank You

Ronald E Wilcox
