What is Bill Powers hiding…this time ?
We already know that Bill Powers is unburdened by a concern for rules. We’ve reported that he blows off rules regarding the use of county personnel and resources for his campaign, and now we find that Powers scoffs at campaign finance reporting rules.
At least two significant contributions to Powers have gone undisclosed by his campaign:
– Laborer’s Union 8-Day Report: On 8/17/18, the Union made a contribution of $600 to Friends of Bill Powers.
– Plumbers & Pipefitters Union Report: On 8/7/18, this union made a $600 contribution to Friends of Bill Powers.
These contributions, and perhaps others, are nowhere to be found in Bill Power’s reporting documents.
– Powers’s 30-Day Report should have disclosed the Plumbers $600 contribution on 8/7/18, and it is simply not there, nor is it on any amended report or the 8-Day Report.
– Powers’ 8-Day Report should have disclosed the Laborer’s $600 contribution but this is also not reported.
These instances add to significant concerns already circulating about Powers’ ethics. This one, dealing with fundraising practices, warrants an immediate audit of his campaign’s accounts.
If Bill Powers is not willing to report these types of contributions by unions who themselves are responsible for reporting, then what other contributions have not been reported?
How many laws does Powers get to flaunt? How many free passes does Powers get in this campaign? And if he is this ethically impaired as a candidate, how ethically does he approach his job on council?
We should invoke extraordinary rendition and send him to a dungeon in Hungary just for wearing that jacket and shirt. Looks like a fucking clown.

These are our representatives, folks. Rubes, half-wits & low level theives.
Even the ones like Carney who dress well. Don’t be fooled.
I want to start a Nella fan club!
Do it.
Think of it as welfare. Who else but the government would hire him?
You may be right. I have a feeling that his defense to this is going to be “I’m not corrupt, I’m dumb.”

I saw a Delaware Liberal post from a few years ago about the DOE and Elaine Manlove failing to enforce fees against candidates and political committees; has there been any development to that issue since then?
I was doing some light legal research, and I see virtually nothing that the DOE and Commissioner Manlove have done to enforce the rules against campaign finance violators. The only enforcement that I’ve seen at all is from federal authorities. This is very concerning since it’s clear as day that Bill Powers has been noncompliant since he filed his Aug. 9th finance report so shouldn’t fees be adding up, and shouldn’t this be getting prepared to be handed off to the AG’s office? On top of that, there’s his 8/31 finance report that is also incomplete.
This completely encourages candidates to improperly accept and spend money if they know there’s zero enforcement.
Sorry folks, there is no impropriety here. I am Bill’s wife and treasurer. Campaign Finance requires me to list the checks based on the day we receive them, not the date they are written. The checks in question were turned in at Bill’s fundraiser which was held on August 30, they will be included in the next financial report. No breaking news, no hidden anything. We have spoken to the folks at the Department of Elections and everything has been confirmed.
