Why didn’t Assembly candidate Thomas McCarthy’s filings show any primary spending on phones ?

46th AD Republican-Conservative candidate Thomas A. McCarthy hasn’t disclosed  who paid for or provided phone banks and robo-calls that were key elements in McCarthy's Brooklyn GOP Primary campaign against Lucretia Regina-Potter.

Phone banks were operated out of Election Headquarters of NYS Senator Martin Golden; the McCarthy Robo-calls were recordings of Golden, who identified himself as a State Senator and urged a vote in the Republican primary for McCarthy.

Thomas A. McCarthy’s filings showed no expenditures for either phone banks or robo-calls; neither did they show any specific donations for/of those very valuable pre-primary services. A review of the New York State Board of Elections Financial Disclosure data base showed the following schedules had been filed by or on behalf of  Thomas A. McCarthy, now the Republican and Conservative candidate running for the assembly in the 46th AD: the 10-day post-primary: Schedule "A" “Contributions”; the 10-day post-primary Schedule "C" “Other Monetary”; Schedule "F" “Expenditures/Payments”; and a “TOM  MCCARTHY FOR ASSEMBLY 2012 10 Day Post Primary Report Summary Page.”

Even thought the 10-day post-primary disclosures made by or on behalf of candidate Tom McCarthy did not reflect any phone expenses or show that there were any phone bank and/or robo-call operations in his primary campaign, there were multiple instances indicating the existence of those very operations in the final days of McCarthy’s primary campaign against conservative Republican Lucretia Regina-Potter. That phone banks were operated out of Election Headquarters of NYS Senator Martin Golden was confirmed during a conversation with a “volunteer” who worked at Golden Headquarters, who is actively supporting both McCarthy and Golden.

The who, what, where, how and how-much of McCarthy’s pre-primary phone operations are still being pursued at the NYS BOE and from other sources.
