It is worth wondering if the Board of Elections will likewise look into the use of campaign funds by the failed Democratic candidate for mayor in 2016 to pay office rent to the same person who spent $12,000 over two years to pay the tax bill on the candidate's residence:

Here is the link to the campaign expenditure to Mr. Clay Shackleton: http://ricampaignfinance.com/RIPublic/Reporting/ExpenditureDetailReport.aspx?Level=S&Site=Public&Type=Expend&Transactionid=246696

And here is the link to the city's property database -- enter 177 Grand View Avenue to see the same Mr. Shackleton's payments in 2014 and 2015, totalling some $12,000: https://www.citizenselfservice.com/MSSProd/citizens/RealEstate/Default.aspx?mode=new

This is the same candidate, it should also be noted, who previously stated that Councilwoman Travis "deserves a statue" despite a finding against her by the state Ethics Commission: http://warwickonline.com/stories/donna-travis-deserves-a-statue,125460?#comments

In both cases, to her credit, Councilwoman Travis admitted fault and took responsibility, something the failed candidate has adamantly refused to do.
