Rakestraw identifies donors

I’m running behind this week, but Stand Up Greensboro founder Andrew Murphy brought it to my attention that Greensboro at-large Councilwoman Mary Rakestraw, has filed an amended report fulfilling the reporting requirements for 13 $100 contributions whose donors were previously unidentified, in violation of state campaign finance law.

The contributions were made in October 2007, and the amended report is stamped as received by the NC Board of Elections on April 13, 2009.

No bombshells here:

• Derek Allen, a real-estate and development lawyer with Brooks, Pierce, who frequently argues rezoning cases before the council;
• Sheriff BJ Barnes, who is, like Rakestraw, a Republican;
• Mark Austin, founder of the Greensboro Landlords Association;
• Jonathan Coker, an employee of Signature Property Group and a member of the executive committee of the Greensboro Landlords Association
• NC Court of Appeals Judge Robert N. Hunter Jr., who unseated John Arrowood in last year’s election;
• Nancy Vaughan, wife of NC Sen. Don Vaughan;
• lawyer Peter Evenson, a director of the Tuggle Duggins law firm
• the NC Home Builders Association
• lawyer Marshall Hurley, reportedly a delegate to the 2008 Republican National Convention;
• Dan O’Shea, general manager of the Triad market for Fairway Outdoor Advertising;
• Sandra Sandler of Greensboro, listed by campaignmoney.com as a donor to Swift Boat Vets and POWs for Truth; and
• Robert Young.
