Speaking of questionable financial sources…does anyone care to explain how a guy making 72,000 a year for the last four years as a mayor - with no declared stock or investment portfolios - suddenly lends himself 245,000 dollars…from a bank account he apparently just ‘had’ but failed to mention?

Guinta, the Republican nominee in the 1st Congressional District, has drawn heat throughout the campaign after he initially failed to include a bank account between $300,000 and $500,000 in his federal campaign filings.

Calling the omission an oversight, Guinta quickly updated the filings to show that he loaned himself $245,000 for the campaign. “I made a very simple error,” he said last month in a debate leading up to the Sept. 10 primary election.

Never mind…it was a simple error.
