Today I received the most recent financial filings for candidates for Elk Grove City Council. I am still going through the forms and working on a story, but one thing among all really stood out to me.
Elk Grove District 3 Incumbent Mike Leary paid out $32,510.26 in expenses to the political consulting firm MMS Strategies, which is owned by former Elk Grove Public Information Officer, Michelle Smira.
When Smira left the city of Elk Grove before the 2006 election, she told the Citizen she would not work for the campaign of any city council member.
Now, judging from campaign finance statements filed by Leary, she is a major cog in Leary's re-election campaign.
