His opponent, Gene Berardelli, only raised about $4,000 and did not qualify for matching funds.

The non-election is over. Unless those poor over worked individuals in that agency that shall not be named decide to get a back bone and hold a recall election, Nero is still going to be in power next year.

It's a well known fact that Sheepshead Bites has tens of thousands of readers, and mainstream media constantly picks up stories covered here. The same can be said for GBnet. Seriously though, its absurd that the CFB would even consider consider giving one candidate more than 50 times the amount of total money raised by his opposition. Everyone, including Lew Fielder, was quite aware that Gene Berardelli's chances of success were small. If allocating money was done fairly Gene would have received 2 dollars for every dollar raised, and even for that the amount would have been less than $3,000. The accounting done by Councilman Fielder should made public. And a comparison made between money raised personally by the councilman and money spent. I doubt he spent more money than that.
