Republican gubernatorial candidate
Dan Maes Monday said all of his campaign expenses are absolutely legitimate. Referring to a
complaint filed against his campaign by a Republican activist from Grand Junction, he said, “It is frivolous and it needs to go away.” Maes said the reason his campaign has paid him $33,135 in mileage reimbursement since October is because when he began campaigning in March, 2009, he paid for most of his mileage out of pocket because the campaign had very little money.
