Return of the Mumpower

So I’m going to Bonnaroo tomorrow and I found this gem on a Bonnaroo forum.

From: Carl Mumpower, Asheville City Council

To: Gary Jackson, Asheville City Manager

Subject: Observations of Phish Concert as Asheville Civic Center

Mr. Jackson,

I just left the Phish Concert at the Civic Center and wanted to share my experience there.

…

Tonight, Asheville’s Civic Center smelled more like City Hall than an Amsterdam hash house.

Many thanks,

Carl Mumpower

Asheville City Council

Here’s the complete letter he wrote. I’m guessing “No No Word” means pot.

Kratovil and Harris close in fundraising for MD-1

Democrat Frank Kratovil trailed Andy Harris a mere $50,000 in cash on hand before Harris gave himself a $100,000 loan on June 30 to meet his internal fund raising goals. The final numbers showed that Kratovil raised 350k in the 2Q and Harris raised 430k. Kratovil has 450k COH and Harris has 600k (remember this is including a 100k loan). http://www.politickermd.com/da…

Also, I’d expect the Kratovil campaign to take note of Harris saying that “they are halfway to their $1.2 million dollar goal” in mid-June when they clearly were not even close. Getting caught lying to the public before you even get in office is never a good move. http://www.politickermd.com/ke…

Kratovil nearly equal Cash on Hand in MD-01

Despite being out raised significantly in the first quarter, Frank Kratovil is nearly equal in cash on hand to his Republican opponent Andy Harris. Harris likely raised and then squandered most of the money due to the fact that he had a competitive primary (Gilchrest) but nonetheless it was a bit surprising to us Marylanders that they were so close. Especially considering Harris had much more money on hand than Wayne Gilchrest and E.J. Pipkin for much of the primary.

The article is wrong, Kratovil only has 170k cash on hand, it was corrected later today
