Jesse Hill Outspending His Opponent for Sherriff

The News Tribune is reporting that Jesse Hill aka Robert Hill aka “The Traveller” is outspending his opponent in the race for Pierce County Sheriff.

Editorial Note: We saw the story last night and figured we’d ignore it. Was it funny? Sure. Was it worth writing another Robert/Jesse Hill post. Maybe. Maybe not. Then, we discover that it’s on the front page of The News Tribune today. Front page? Wow. Now we must share.

So what’s on the public disclosure forms that’s so interesting? $222 for Beer. $200 for guard dog food. $500 to bail a campaign volunteer out of jail. $69.93 for fourteen sunglass necklaces. And so much more. It’s a rather interesting read.

Mr. Hill’s original PDC report.

    The real story here is no so much the bizarre expenses but that he spent $10,000 on stamps and is buying labels with total expenses around $28,000.

    If actually expended, it shows he has a very significant funding source from somewhere. And he has already won one election.

    I might as well add this Tacomic to this thread:

    George Soros is behind him. It’s all part of his master plan.
