"At a recent Clean
Elections debate at
Florence Town Hall,
Democrat Ernest
Bustamante told
voters about his
service as a former
state
representative, and
how he knows the
system at the
Legislature. But
Bustamante was
tight-lipped about
whether he knows the
rules for Clean
Elections, and
whether he broke
them." |
