Sheridan’s Long Distance Dating

Heh.

Sheridan - under fire for dating a payday loan lobbyist and switching his position on how to regulate that industry - updated a campaign finance report Friday that provides more details about his travel last year, as required by law.

That travel included $756 for luggage fees and airfare to a posh Georgia resort in October for a conference that was also attended by Shanna Wycoff, the payday loan lobbyist Sheridan has dated. Other expenses for Sheridan were covered by the State Legislative Leaders Foundation, which received sponsorships for its conference from payday lenders, including Axcess Financial, Wycoff’s employer.

The updated report also shows Sheridan used his campaign to travel to a Council of State Governments conference in California in November and a Democratic fund-raiser in Washington, D.C., in December - events also attended by Wycoff. Sheridan, a former United Auto Workers local president, also tapped his campaign to pay for a trip to Chicago, where he took Wycoff on a date to a UAW Christmas party.

The $756 spent for the trip to Georgia - $616 for airfare and $140 for luggage fees - covered one ticket, Sheridan aide Rebekah Sweeney said.

    Glad they’re feeling our pain while they keep jacking up our taxes/fees, and they’re being such good stewards of state money.
