The only hack is Mettler! He misappropriated those funds and now he's turning to the good ole boy system to put the lid back on it! If the CRA wants to appear credible, they need to launch a REAL investigation into the matter.

Shannon Grove campaign supporter Kelly Gafford Colson helped RAKC board member Karen Norton post the information about the RAKC finances situation on Facebook before the BPD and the CRA state board even had a chance to investigate the matter. They were trying to slander Ken Mettler and destroy his campaign with untrue accusations. This shows that the actions of certain current RAKC board were politically motivated. Martin Bertram turns out to be the political hack and a phony

Now this group and Mettler are worthy of my support, they have shown they have the backbone too fight back.

Well, who knows what really happens when it comes to any political party....but, I do admire Ken for his 'Whack a Turd' day against the dirtbag anti-8 guy.

I think its sad that the CRA is unwilling to keep its members financially accountable. Instead, its resorted to 'don't snitch' tactics. Betrand blew the whistle, so now all Mettler's cronies want his head. It creates the perception of CRA as a corrupt political machine. Whether Mettler paid that money back or not, he had NO business spending it to begin with-it was deception. That's not very Christ-like Ken!
