Kehl Pleads Guilty

Sure hope this is the end of this. I'd really hate to think still more are involved. The Judge when sentencing Troha said he thought Troha's money could be used better in community. How about paying for special election and all these others fines and court costs? The least he could do. I know the Judge felt they 'skirted' the rules and weren't well defined but they all new what they were doing was wrong. I wonder if any PACs or other special interest groups will get caught up in this mess?

Anyone thinking the snowball effect from Troha ending with this is sorely mistaken.
