9/1/2010: NEWS RELEASE: Shepherd Calls Johnson Spending an “Unethical Abuse of Power;” Promises to make public office expense account when elected

(Marietta, GA) House District 37 Republican candidate Jason Shepherd has pledged to make public his legislative expenses after shocking abuses of taxpayer funds were found in incumbent Democrat Terry Johnson’s expense records.

“Democrat Terry Johnson has been spending taxpayer money like it was his own personal bank account,” said Shepherd. “Over $4,000 for new office furniture; over $800 at the Apple Store and almost $6,500 to his Florida political consultant show a pattern that is clearly an unethical abuse of power.”

7/30/2010: NEWS RELEASE: Shepherd Signs Pledge Agreeing Not to Abuse Taxpayer Funded Legislative Expense Account; Urges Johnson to Do Same

(Marietta, GA) – State House Candidate Jason Shepherd has signed a pledge to the voters of the 37th District that he will not abuse taxpayer dollars by mailing out legislative newsletters within 60 days of an election in which he has competition.

“While many members of the legislature use their taxpayer funded expense accounts to send updates to their constituents, it is an unethical abuse of taxpayer funds when a legislator sends it out in the middle of their re-election campaign, months after the legislative session has ended,” said Shepherd. “That’s why I have signed a pledge that as State Representative, I will not abuse taxpayer funds by mailing out these unsolicited legislative updates within 60 days of an election and will work to pass legislation making this practice illegal in the State of Georgia.”
