THE REST OF THE RICKEY PEETE CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES AND DONATIONS GOING BACK TO 1996

As promised watchdog has gone over the files for Mr. Peete and here are the high lights and complete files for your perusal.

• In a 1/30/02 statement of interest under sources of income Mr. Peete stated three sources, Beale Street Merchants Association, the Tennessee Technology Institute and RWP and Associates. The Beale Street Merchants Association we know about but do not have any information about income. The Tennessee Technology Institute we cannot find anything about it. RWP and Associates is apparently a deal to get money from candidates to get on a sample ballot sponsored by Peete.

• Campaign donations to Janis Fullilove ($1200), Joe Cooper ($500), A. C. Wharton ($1000), Brent Taylor ($500)
• A number of large payments to James Sellers as a campaign consultant and for other services.
• Many contributions for tickets and other favors to the City of Memphis Credit Union.
• $500 to Shep Wilbun Jr. for campaign consultation.

On the donation side we note the following well known individual donors and lawfirms

• James and Virginia McGehee Jr. and James III
• Farris, Mathews, Brana & Helen, PLC
• Cynthia Hyneman
• Joe Cooper
• Dean Jernigan

• J. Kevin Hyneman

There is one other interesting item which goes back to 1996. Apparently there were some loans made to his campaign during the period from November 1995 to December 1996. They were from Rusty Hyneman, $1750, Thomas Farnsworth, $1300, Jackie Welch, $2000, Ralph B. Smith, $750, John Elkington, $3000, Harold E. Buehler, $600, Dan Turley $250 and Alex Parish, $2500.

It takes a lot of money to win a $30,000+ Memphis City Council seat. Good, honest government-PRICELESS.
