Her friend Dalton is said to have a gambling habit; based on Althoff’s travel expenses charged off to her political campaign, does Althoff also have a gambling habit?
What were McConnaughay and Althoff doing in Quebec together?
Since April 2003, Althoff has collected more than $2,596,000 in campaign contributions. A sizeable chunk of that has been spent on hotels, airfare and taxis / limousines.
Nothing to see here folks, just move on. It’s all business as usual for the pigs at the trough!
What about the money she gave Bellmore? Reinert? Brian Sager?
