The most interesting thing about that list is that Koehler spent almost as much of his own money as he can expect to earn as a Councillor for a year. Meaning essentially he’ll be working for free the first year. Interesting…
You are right No Name .. Albert has never been in it for the pay cheque
Money spent has little impact on the votes cast. I guess the winner is decided by who works hardest to get elected, although some of the winners used unconventional methods. It is a lesson learned for people who want to spend their way to victory in a civic election in PG
So how much money did the mayor get from unions?
