A reader took matters into their own hands and filed a request for review against Yvonne Spicer, on her use of campaign funds to pay for her United States Conference of Mayors Convention travel expenses, for which the City of Framingham is a member organization of the United States Conference of Mayors.

Background: When it was announced that Mayor Spicer would be attending the 87th Mayors Conference in Hawaii over the summer, there was an uproar on the taxpayer funded travel cost, but it was quelled with a press release from the city stating she would be using her personal funds on the trip. We later found out that while she did use her own money, she requested reimbursement out of her campaign donor funds. READ FULL STORY ON THAT – CLICK HERE

Below please find the letter which was later sent to the OCPF (Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance).

PLEASE CONSIDER: Writing your own request for review. Please send an email to ocpf@cpf.state.ma.us and include in the subject line: “Request for Review”. Hit send and you too can be part of the downfall of our wasteful and dishonest mayor.

ALL REVIEW REQUESTS ARE CONFIDENTIAL: “Individuals with information concerning possible violations of the campaign finance laws may file a request for review in writing with OCPF. The identity of the individual requesting the review is kept confidential and is not revealed to the subject of the review, the public or any other party at any time. OCPF does not comment on any matter that is under review or investigation. In fact, the office also does not confirm or deny the receipt of any requests for review or the existence of an investigation until such investigation is completed.”
