Trouble For Ogo

Jim Ogonowski's bid for US Senate ended in embarrassment when he failed to get enough signatures to qualify for the Republican primary ballot. Today comes news that he's facing an FEC complaint and lawsuit over unpaid bills.

Roll Call reports that Jamestown Associates, a Republican consulting firm in DC, claims that Ogo owes them roughly $27,000 for an ad buy order back in May. (This is presumably the ad released in May featuring ordinary Massachusetts diners grousing about John Kerry.) Not only has the bill never been paid, Jamestown also claims that the campaign didn't include the debt in its filings with the Federal Election Commission. (For those without a Roll Call subscription, you can read about it here.)
