RoM notes that Steve Patterson contributed $11,500 to Presley and Timothy Balducci contributed another $5,000. $18,000 more came from other members of the Patterson Balducci firm.
RoM doesn't list the contributions to Presley of $2,500 from Cotton Plant of Como, LLC and $2,500 more from Cotton Plant Thoroughbreds, LLC. Steve Patterson's Cotton Plant Consulting, Inc. is listed at the same address as those two LLCs so its a good chance that those contributions ($5000 total) also come from Patterson.Now Patterson and Balducci will be sentenced on February 13.
More than a year after pleading guilty in a judicial bribery scandal that took down then-prominent lawyer Dickie Scruggs, former state auditor Steve Patterson and disbarred New Albany lawyer Tim Balducci will be sentenced Feb. 13. The two were the first to plead guilty to their roles in attempting to bribe Circuit Judge Henry Lackey to rule in favor of Scruggs in a legal fees dispute.Dickie Scruggs also gave Presley $5000.
Scruggs, Patterson, and Balducci did not give to the other Public Service Commissioners. Only Presley. The question is, "WHY?" And why has Presley not divested himself of these tainted funds?
