Lie: Debra DOES NOT owe the RPT money!!!!
I have seen several negative blogs concerning Debra Medina recently. It seems negative blogs have greatly increased since the KERA debate. The previous tactic seemed to be, just ignore her and maybe she will go away. Now that it is clear that Debra is in this race to to the end, the decision seems to be, now is the time to go negative.
One particular negative and untruthful blog that I have seen several times. states that Debra lost her law suit against the RPT and that she owes thousands of dollars to the RPT for their legal fees. Now I understand, the RPT can’t be responsible for every blogger that writes in their behalf, any more than Debra Medina can be responsible for the behavior of each of her supporters. However, the truth of this situation is pretty easy to correct.
At the last Republican State Convention, bylaws of the party state that the new chairman and vice chairman for the convention will be elected before other business of the convention is conducted. (This is a paraphrase, not exact language.) The then chairman was continuing to conduct the business of the convention without holding the election for the new chairman and vice chairman. Debra through the court, sought an injunction to halt the business of the convention, until the proper elections were held. The judge ruled on a technicality that Debra had made her request in the wrong jurisdiction and dismissed the case. So the merits of her case were never heard.
Then the RPT appealed, seeking that Debra should be required to pay their legal fees. I have heard numbers ranging from $14,000 to $30,000 plus.
On January 4th, the three judge panel for the appeal’s court ruled in Debra’s favor, that she did not have to pay the RPT legal fees. It is that simple. People who continue to post that Debra owes the RPT for legal fees and has not paid them, are either very ill informed, or are deliberately spreading false information. In either case, their comments should not be taken with any degree of credibility.
