Seems that Landon B. Lane is the Treasurer for the Backwards Coalition. They have raised $838 and I assume the ASIGNCO, the Mayor's sign company is doing there signs at cost. I saw the Mayor walking out of City Hall last Tuesday with a couple under his arm. Don't know whether it is a campaign violation for a City Official to be carrying signs to and fro a Municipal building, but I think most would consider it improper, but most understand that the Backwards Coalition will stop at nothing to maintain their Status Quo Political machine.

As you can see, the contributions from the Citizen's group have been minimal with the largest sum of money being $250 given by Attorney Allen Wood.
The Backward's Coalition has raised $838 with Landon Lane giving $238, Rudy Wright giving $200, Jill Patton giving $100, Bruce Meisner giving $100, David Zagaroli giving $100, Sandra Johnson giving $100.
Just thought it would be a good idea to keep track of where people are coming from. It is interesting to see how much money is directly attributable to the current Hickory City Council. And remember the costs of those signs made by ASIGNCO. How much is that? Where is that disclosure?
