O'Leary Employs Taxpayer Resources to Defend Bogus Campaign Claim

So, O'Leary has asked Mr. Butler to back up O'Leary's $100M campaign claim. Huh?

On Friday October 11th, I asked O'Leary for public records backing up his claim he brought & $100M into Lakewood--and made this post: https://www.olearyforlakewood.com/about-sam

It apparently took O'Leary 3 days to realize he has no records to back up his claim so he has now sent the request to Butler at City Hall.

What does Mr. Butler and City Hall know about O'Leary's campaign claims?

It is totally inappropriate that a public employee be brought in to "support" a claim. So, should O'Leary resign or Butler?Who moves first to avoid being indicted?
