Chauncey Solinger Florida State Rep Candidate Facing BIG FINES!!
Chauncey Solinger is great at setting up multiple blogs with the same misinformation, but he cannot keep his campaign paperwork in order. And it will cost him big.
A search on the Division of Elections website of Chauncey Soliner's name reveals some very interesting information. Did you know that Chauncey Solinger has failed miserably to meet filing deadlines? The fail to file notice he received (image below, but check the website for the whole document) was issued on July 30th. At that point he owed $150, but after that it is $500 per day (certain limits apply). The exact fine has not been issued (not to worry, we will have it here on this blog), but this guy is about to drop a bit more cash.
So what do we have? We have a candidate who tell us he is experienced living on a budget, making a business work, and will be able to make changes in Tallahassee. But he cannot manage his affairs. If this simple task is beyond him then how can he ever get anything done in the Legislature?
If you have an employee who was costing your business this kind of money it is very likely that you would show them the door. On election day, my advice is to never let him open the door. Lee county cannot afford the Legislative version of a bumbling, stumbling clown who does not know what to do. We need serious people, doing serious work representing this community.
Chauncey Solinger has prattled on and on about being dedicated to the job year around, the most available candidate and the most connected. He cannot be that dedicated if cannot manage the most simplest tasks of his campaign.

Chauncey Solinger Misleads Officials in Run for State House??
The web of half-truths and misleading information may be mounting for Chauncey Solinger. Solinger claims to be leading polls, either telephone or exit polls. Yet, where ever I have asked for evidence from him or his supporters they do not respond. I am called names, ignored, or they retaliate in some fashion. Well, this will not make them happy as I bring forward another question of Solinger's campaign tactics and management.
Solinger filled out a disclosure form, and claims that his residence is worth $175,000. But this does not add up. According to the Lee County Appraiser's Office his house is worth just under $121,000. In fairness, those number sometimes lag the market. Well, I could not get a price on the residence because it is a duplex he co-owns with others (more on that in a moment). But I looked on Zillow at the neighborhood in general. The house next door has had nearly flat increases in value. Therefore, we can surmise that the neighborhood is holding value, or increasing ever so slightly.
So what is my point? According to county records, Solinger paid along with his co-owners 130,000 for the duplex in July of 2010. With an appraised value of 121,00 last year, and a relatively flat market how does his residence get valued at $175,000? An increase of value in approaching 35% in two years?? In this market? I do not think so!!
But to compound it, he is a co-owner of the residence. On his paperwork he overvalues the asset at 175,000 and makes no mention that he does not own the whole thing. Granted, the mortgage he has outstanding may not be all his either, but this is not clear. We have an overvalued property, and no assurance of what he actually owes. Solinge is unable to complete this form with any sense of consistency.
The real issue is not whether he owes more or less, or the intricate details. The issue here is once again Solinger portrays something that is either completely not true, or is a stretch of the truth in order to meet his needs. Where is the integrity or honesty we need in a State Representative? I do not see it, and you won't either.
For your ease, I have snapshots of his campaign finance form and deed information!

Chauncey Solinger Campaign Finances Continue to Suffer in Run for State House
Solinger claims to be leading the race. This of course cannot be proven by him, in spite of request to do so. But we know when it comes to raising money, he is coming in dead last by a country mile!
A review of campaign finance records for the month of July reveals that Solinger raised a total of $90 for the whole month, not including self-loans (more on that in a moment). His two opponents, exclusive of loans, have raised over twenty thousand in that same period. Chauncey is getting taken out to the woodshed by people who know how to inspire confidence, raise funds, and run a campaign.
Making matters even worse for Chauncey is that he dropped another $4,000 of his own money on the campaign. Now, on one hand you cannot fault a guy for investing in his campaign, but it clearly shows that he does not have the skills to inspire people to contribute, make connections to build his campaign, or find people who would rather support him than Grant or Rodrigues.
With the election just days away, Solinger is getting a hard lesson in the differences between himself, his campaign, and his worthy opponents.
