Spurred by interest from your post, I was driven to the MEC website to look-up the data on his past filing. As the data only goes back to 2001, and Treasurer Williams has been in office since 1981, it was obviously an incomplete picture. But based on the available information, it doesn't look like he is running for office, as a continuing committee cannot be organized, run, or directed by a candidate. Plus the level of fundraising since terminating his re-election committee has been very small, perhaps with the exception of the yet-to-be-reported fundraiser recently. In fact, the last 3 reports were limited activity reports, which was not uncharacteristic for the comparable time (2002) in the last election cycle. In fact, prior to the current quarter, cash on hand was roughly $793, which is near what the committee rolled-over from his re-election committee. So, we are left with the same question you posed in the original post: for what is Mr. Williams raising money?

Mr. Williams has a historical track record of raising money. It is not uncharacteristic of savvy elected officials to conduct campaign activities when the duties of the respective office of which they are holding allows them some "down time".

No need to get paranoid.

After all...Nia would know if our Distinguished Treasurer was 'up' to something.

P.S. By the way travis reems, I really like the renovation project in South St. Louis on Ann Street.

Thanks! My rehabber client will be pleased to hear that. By the way, he is offering some nice deals on that property and others, and attractive commissions to buyers' agents, if you know anyone looking. ;)
