CASH FLOW: OK, we admit we goofed last week, when we reported Republican Sally Slosser, who is challenging incumbent Pima County Supervisor Mike Boyd in the GOP primary in District 1, had dropped $13,000 of her own money into her campaign. The correct figure--as far we knew at the time--was $10,300. We inadvertently transposed some numbers. We got phone calls and faxes from the Slosser campaign complaining about the error--fair enough. And then Slosser campaign treasurer Bernie Collins roasted us on the air during one of our all-time favorite episodes of The John C. Scott Show. We made our appearance, said we were sorry and promised a correction. But while the Slosser campaign was flogging us, no one mentioned one little fact: The previous day, Slosser had loaned the campaign $55,000. Yes, $55,000. That's not exactly small change, especially considering Slosser had only raised $31,459 to that point--and that included the $10,300 she had lent the campaign. That means that Slosser has lent her campaign over $65,000 in her gamble to unseat Boyd. We find it somewhat disingenuous of the Slosser campaign to quibble over a difference of $2,700 while $55,000 was in play. So we asked Sally why she didn't mention the $55,000 loan. At first, Slosser denied the loan had come before the radio appearance, but when we pointed out the August 28 date on her letter, she had another explanation. "Nobody asked me," she replied, adding she didn't think the loan was relevant because it had occurred after the end of the most recent reporting period. ED MOORE, HIT MAN: Several sources close to County Supervisor Special Ed Moore tell us he's prepared a late-in-the-primary mailer gutting GOP District 3 candidate Vicki Cox-Golder. The content, we are told, revolves around personal material Moore has been trying to peddle to most of the local media, to no avail. While we believe candidates should be probed, and probed deeply and often, we find it dirty pool to take a hard shot so late in the game as to deny the target a chance to respond. We're told Moore may try to use another person as the vehicle for the charges and then claim it wasn't really him. He took an anonymous third-party shot in 1992 against Lee Davis in District 4, so it's typical of his cowardly M.O. Moore wants Cox-Golder knocked out so he can run in the general against the candidates the developers dislike, Republican Ann Holden and Democrat Sharon Bronson. He assumes the developer money going to Cox-Golder would then come to him in the general election. He might be right. But we suspect he's dreaming if he thinks Cox-Golder supporters will line up for him against anybody--even Saddam Hussein--when he's trying to destroy with sleazy innuendo a candidate they've worked that hard to elect. WHHHHHEEEEEEERRRRRES'S JIMMY? For some time, GOP supervisors candidate Vicki Cox-Golder has proudly displayed her three big endorsements--U.S. senators Jon Kyl and John McCain and U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe. In fact, Kolbe was featured prominently on the fund-raising dinner invitations for Cox-Golder's August 27 big-name bash. Kolbe didn't attend the dinner because, we're told, he was out of town. But Cox-Golder just dropped a piece of mail onto District 3 Republican voters featuring the two Phoenix-area senators but excluding Kolbe. "We think we've overused it," says Cox-Golder, who says she's still proud of the Kolbe endorsement. "We put it on everything else that we've done, so we just decided to focus on McCain and Kyl, because those are very special. It's very unusual to get two senators, and all my other mailings I used Kolbe and I didn't use McCain and Kyl because I didn't have these endorsements. So we decided rather than dilute McCain and Kyl, just to leave Kolbe off." Some Kolbe supporters are wondering why Kolbe, who lives in Santa Cruz County, has stuck his nose into contested primaries all over Pima County. We could care less about Kolbe's sexual preference, but we're getting sick and tired of his mighty declarations regarding his preferences for Pima County candidates. Perhaps local voters should take a "pass" on Kolbe's own primary against perennial candidate Joe Sweeney. VALLEY FORGERY: Apparently the Secretary of State and Attorney General are not going to kick Congressman J.D. Hayworth (R-Freelunchville) off the ballot, even though his campaign filed forged papers before the deadline to run. They didn't feel it was fair since they hadn't kicked a Libertarian candidate off for the same reason. The Republican National Committee delegate who notarized the document is slated to receive a bit more than a wrist slap. Lori Marsh, wife of Rep. Wes Marsh, could be charged with a misdemeanor for certifying the forgery. PEOPLE'S PORN: Rural Pima County residents out of range of cable TV companies have one option besides a satellite system, People's Choice. This outfit dropped C-SPAN back in '95 and has yet to come through with a promise to include the History Channel. Heck, we'd settle for Sci-Fi or Comedy Central. So why, we ask, has People's Choice added a third channel of pay-for-view porn selections? Aren't Playboy and Spice enough? If you count the weekend late-night material available on HBO and Cinemax, county residents now have more dirty movies available to them than a kid can find on the Internet. People's Choice even promotes the titles for the new channel as early as 7 p.m., well within prime family viewing time. The Tucson Police Department recently spent a lot of time and money going after a handful of pointless wankers playing with themselves in the "privacy booths" at some local adult bookstores. Why don't they do the entire community a favor and just bust People's Choice instead?
