Griffiths Files Complaint Against Hart

Howard Griffiths, a Republican write-in candidate for House District 3, is has filed a complaint with the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office re: the campaign finance records of Hart’s PAC, North Idahoans for Liberty. Griffiths, who is challenging the Athol Republican, claims that Hart ‘s PAChas two anomalies on its campaign finance reports — one each on May 18 and June 20. In the May 18 instance, Griffiths said, Hart’s PAC reported spending $503.33 more than it received. In the June 20 instance, Griffiths said, Hart’s PAC reported spending more than he received, yet had a cash balance of $930.09. How can North Idahoans for Liberty spend more than it received and have a cash balance, Griffiths asks. Griffiths notes that Hart has a masters in business administration from an Ivy League school and is on the Idaho Revenue and Taxation Committee — and shouldn’t have anomalies like these in his campaign reports.
