On Tuesday Jonathan Palmer wrote about Don Samuel's campaign:
Over the last five days his campaign has mailed over 20,000 pieces of literature into the Ward.
Today you state:
. The total printing and mailing budget was less then $5,000 and we are within budget.20,000 pieces for $5,000= 25 cents a piece! Joe, what's you're secret? Scab printers usually charge about the same as the union printers, so there's no cost saving there. I thusly suspect the only reason for going to a scab printer is to thumb the candidate's nose at union folks. And yes, the piece was presorted, but even if the mailing is fully carrier route presorted the Postal service will still charge at least 25 cents/piece to mail it.
So Joe, $5,000 would at best almost pay the postage. So is the printing and presorting perhaps an in kind donation from a scab printer and mailhouse located in the 3rd ward? Joe, what printer and mailhouse might that be? And how much was the donation?
Inquiring minds want to know...
