Stan Stubbs, Oakham Town Council, Election Leaflet
This morning I received a copy of Stan Stubbs A5 double sided glossy election leaflet through the post
from ? Thanks interesting post mark, oh if I hold the letter to light I can see the previous print out, Ink jets! (my home was missed out)
I am told the leaflet was distributed to the entire OSE Ward.
Mr Stubbs has refused to answer questions about the leaflet drop?
Mr Stubbs must have commanded a great deal from the printers
to keep within the legally permitted expenditure budget.
When the Town Council use them they don't seem that cheap.
Any saving must have been lost, as it appears he had to print a sticker to partially
comply with election publication laws, I say partial because the law requires the
information published on the sticker to appear on both sides of any publication.
Interesting or not, the leaflet also shows a different amount of months Mr Stubbs has
resided in Oakham, different from information he gave the local paper.
I raised some issues relating to the leaflet with the chairman of the council.
He asked if someone else paid for the leaflet would Stan have to declare it
as an election expense?
Of course he would and it would be interesting to know if someone did, I look
forward to seeing who his donor was on his Electoral Commission Return.
It is a big rumour that the once Tory Councillor was backed by a Tory so his
Independent claim could be a little bit dubious.
And I hope no council paper was used for his own personal gain? Sorry could not resist
bringing that one up again.....
