| Dennis Unsworth's rejection of a Trevis Butcher complaint (pdf) against Brett Lund didn't garner any media coverage, but it's pretty amusing. And, yes, this is yet another complaint surrounding the 2006 trio of Howie-Rich-funded ballot initiatives - the campaign for which was found to be marred by "pervasive fraud" in its signature-gathering, and for which Trevis Butcher was found to have violated Montana campaign finance laws.
This one, though, was initiated by Butcher against Billings detective Brett Lund for swinging by (on duty) an addresse listed as a residence on one of the signature gatherer's affidavits - it turns out the address belonged to Butcher's sister, Becky. When questioned, Becky Butcher had never heard the signature-gatherer's name.
Get it? Trevis Butcher used his sister's address for a signature gatherer's affidavit, without her knowledge or consent!
Just a little taste of the fun and games that went on in 2006, a footnote from that campaign, and proof, again, of how classy Trevis Butcher is. |
