I was over in Cedar Riverside today. Ran into a guy distributing a 4 color glossy postcard literature piece endorsing R.T. for Mayor. The postcard had no disclaimer on it. When I asked the gentlemen who he knew who produced the postcard he said it was "the Sabri Organization". I also noticed R.T. lawn signs prominently displayed on Basim Sabri's Karmel Plaza building. They are posted on the city owned boulevards.
I dare say that a 4 color piece printed in any volume would cost over $100. My understanding of campaign law is that not only is it illegal to put a political piece out without a disclaimer, it is also illegal to spend more than $100 endorsing a political candidate without filing as a political PAC.
