guy seems like he could actually make BR more business friendly.
Because of his experience with managing mediocre college bars and being handsy with the bartenders?

Do you just disagree with the avenues he's campaigning or are you just insinuating the guy is just getting drunk on donor money?


I think it's both really. Sure, if going to a bunch of restaurants and bars was effective, then go ahead. But, his campaign finance reports for the past few years show that he uses his campaign funds to pay those bills. And, when you look at the staggering amount he spent at numerous bars and restaurants on individual days (as well as Uber rides), it doesn't look legit.

I don't think it's an effective use of limited resources, if we assume that he's not using it as a slush fund and is just going to bars and restaurants and campaign. He's spent over $9k on restaurants and bars for this election, but appears to have only spent just over $500 on radio. 9k on radio and TV would really have been a better use of that money.
