It's Not the Crime It's the Cover-Up

There is less to the Lake County GOP crime spree than meets the eye.

Last week, Friends 4 Helene Miller Walsh Inc filed a D-2, falsely stating that a $115,000 expenditure went to a campaign consultant at this address:

Good Faith Effort
Anytown, IL 00000

Your LakeCountyEye has subsequently learned that this practice is, in fact, not a crime. Candidate reports are not required to include addresses when they are not known.

Of course, in this particular situation, an average 3rd Grader could find the address of the Walsh campaign consultant ...

Jamestown Associates

Either with Google:

Or even the Illinois State Board of Elections website:

Nonetheless, as long as a good faith effort was made by Friends 4 Helene Miller Walsh Inc, fraud was not committed.

Your LakeCountyEye stands corrected.
