Once again, the political amateurs that run Chesapeake Energy’s public affairs have thumbed their noses at the rules, and once again they’ve been exposed, only this time the punishment may be more than public humiliation. From The Arkansas Democrat Gazette:
“House Speaker-designate Rep. Robbie Wills reported a $2,000 contribution for the primary election from Chesapeake Operating Inc. on May 19, after reporting a $1,000 contribution for the primary election from the same Oklahoma City-based firm on Oct. 12. Under state law, the contribution limit in state races is $2,000 per candidate per election.”
After their attempt to repeal Oklahoma’s immigration reform law was exposed and subsequently abandoned under humiliating circumstances, they have put the Arkansas House Speaker-designate’s career in jeopardy over bungling of that state’s campaign finance laws. The Gazette today exposed the wrong doing, with someone named Danny Games playing the doofus role Chesapeake employee Tom Price played in the Oklahoma escapades.
Doubtless Arkansas ethics officials will be looking into this matter, and we will report on this developing story.
