Porter Kirkwood still did not file the 10-day post-primary financial disclosure reports

I checked the site of the New York State Board of Elections for the 10-day post-primary finance disclosure report.

Nothing was filed there by Delaware County judicial candidate Porter Kirkwood.

The law allows local candidates to file such disclosures with the local Boards of Elections, so Kirkwood could have filed there.

Yet, he did file his disclosure reports with the New York State Board of Elections - before I started analyzing those reports in my blogs.

And, Delaware County is stalling my FOIL request of finance disclosure reports of the other judicial candidate, Delaware County District Attorney Richard Northrup.

I understand, Delaware County wants to preclude disclosure of such reports for as long as possible, hopefully until after the elections - while trying to elevate its two corrupt public officials to a position of influence where they will be hearing County cases coming in front of them.

Yet, there is still a possibility to get Kirkwood and Northrup off the bench even if they are elected, if they are indicted for corruption - and for that reason, Delaware County is stalling disclosure of public contracts that bypassed public bidding with support of Porter Kirkwood.

I will keep pressing to see who Porter Kirkwood helped out with such contracts, and then to compare who of those "beneficiaries" helped Porter Kirkwood back in his elections.

Stay tuned.
