Plummer settles suit filed by stiffed friend

* A story from last summer to refresh your memory…

A fundraising consultant and longtime acquaintance has filed suit against Jason Plummer over outstanding debts from his failed Congressional campaign.

Franny Decker of Decker Consulting Services in Washington, D.C., has sued Plummer personally and his election committee, Plummer for Congress, for more than $50,000. Decker alleges that she is owed payments for her fundraising work on Plummer’s 2012 campaign for the 12th Congressional District. […]

The suit was filed in Madison County Circuit Court on June 17, and states that Decker “greatly exceeded” the goals set for her to raise money from political action campaigns to support Plummer’s run. […]

Decker is a longtime associate of Plummer’s, having met when they were both members of College Republicans at the University of Illinois, according to the lawsuit’s filings.

* Ms. Decker’s attorney is Kent Gray. Kent sent me an e-mail this morning…

Franny Decker reached a settlement with Jason Plummer on the outstanding balance due. He has made payment.

That was the last of the vendor cases I had against Jason. Franny’s was the only one that required a lawsuit be filed to settle.

Consider this an early Thanksgiving present for Oswego Willy.

…Adding… I asked Kent Gray how much the case was settled for. His reply…

Dear Rich,

In response to your request, Franny asked that I provide the following description of the amount paid in settlement by Mr. Plummer:

“The amount paid by Mr. Plummer was approximately the original invoice amount. Ms. Decker agreed to waive the late fees under the original contract in order to reach a mutually agreeable settlement.”

Have a great weekend,

Kent

@FakeJasonPlummer - yeah, I’m suppose to not even say nothing about it, but lets say Franny only got 2 of the Power Rangers, k? #winning

Thanks, Rich.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving.

Classy move by Mr. Gray to “spike the football”. Press release at noon, sir?

Sounds like someone should have gotten a confidentiality clause in that settlement.

@FakeJasonPlummer - This was bad nooz. Dad said, “Now back to the bank!” Even fake jobs are hard! #FreeParkingGetsThePot

@FakeJasonPlummer - since I did all the legal stuff Dad made me do, now I get to sit at the Adult Table at thanksgiving and everything! #FingersCrossed

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 11:19 am
@FakeJasonPlummer - that was the 20 case I settled, so I guess Mr. Gray got his set of Steak Knives

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 11:24 am
@FakeJasonPlummer - I signed a piece of paper for all these saying I won’t say nothing about anything. Easiest part! #CantTalkAboutThingsIDontUnderstandAnywayDuh

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 11:26 am
Willie, not even tempted to defend Plummer here. No sympathy for people who don’t pay their debts when the money to pay them is there. Besides that, these are funny. Carry on.

Comment by A guy... Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 11:31 am
@FakeJasonPlummer - after all this settling of cases, my allowance won’t even cover my 1 Direction tickets. Now Dad is making me pay with my own money! #AllowanceIsNotHandoutFromDadHonest

Every night I go to be feeling safer that America has Jason Plummer in the naval reserves standing ready to protect us from bad guys and gals.

Dear Rich Miller,

My name is Jason Plummer and couple people says you are even looking for an Intern for like your stuff.

I put my other intern stuff in the Lumberyard envelope here, do when you open this, it should all fall out. I have been to Springfield so you don’t need to send directions it a map, but my GPS confusese sometimes, so don’t tell me to be near you quick, just in case.

Dad said you can pay my or not, but wanted me to tell you, to “Just take Jason and be quiet about it!”, do that is my reference too.

After Santa comes and gets me knew stuff, I will be ready four you. So, I am done with this, so I guess I just sign this or something and say bye or whatever.

Kool?

You’re Pal,

Jason P.

p.s. Do I get to meet Oswego Willy, you know to talk to him and stuff..,Jason

Dear Mr. Mustache, thanks for making me laugh so hard I spit soup all over my desk. It was worth it.

Comment by The KQ Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 12:01 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - hey @CapitolFax, if I don’t even get the internship, can I be the Lt. Intern? I got experience in that too. #WellRoundedInternResume

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 12:03 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - I don’t understand. I apply for jobs with my Dad all the time and find out before my afternoon snack or nap that I got it. #GetDadToHireMeThenApplyAfter

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 12:07 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - Dad says I needed up by not sending references. You know how expensive it is to mail a dictionary and “the rhyme words book”? #WordsHaveOtherMeaningsToo

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 12:10 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - Franny, I know we have had some differences, but will you write a letter for me to tell @CapitolFax how kool I am for the interning? #ObviouslyOblivious

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 12:12 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - now that this suit stuff is all done, where are all the suits now, in a closet at Dad’s house? I didn’t even get to wear any if them. #JasonIsMoreOfASweaterGuy

@FakeJasonPlummer - when I host thanksgiving, I usually serve popcorn and jelly beans #CharlieBrownStyle

“Now Dad is making me pay with my own money!”

He has his own money? Who knew?

@FakeJasonPlummer - Franny emailed me, well Franny’s lawyer emailed the Bank Lawyer & said words I needed to look up & stuff. Franny, that 4th thing sounds painful! #ButWeAreStillBusRight

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 2:07 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - getting all kinds of tweeterings now, asking me about irony of now working on a campaign. I irony my shirt every time Bob and I go out, duh! #IsntIronyAVitaminToo

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 2:11 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - I was asked if I missed campaigning. Nah, sometimes I go out in my New pickup Dad got me and just wave at people to feel like a parade. #WhyDoPeopleShiwMeOnlyOneFingerWhenTheyWaveBack

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 2:15 pm
Ms. Decker’s lawyer’s name sure sounds like the name of the former occupant of the 12th districts southern area 1955-1975 and 1985-1989, Rep. Ken Gray!

Comment by Elmira Eddie Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 2:17 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - I asked Bob if he wanted me to put magnets of his name on my pickup. Bob, next time just a simple “No” is enough. #SupportByBeingInvisible

@FakeJasonPlummer - Bob running statewide means I might finally get to go to Oswego. Uncle Bill & Uncle Jerry chose to use me for strategerie #MeaningOutOfSightOutOfMind

@FakeJasonPlummer - the Bank Lawyer told me one thing that I totally won on versus Franny. I get to go anywheres I want, Franny can’t eve be near me! #WrongInterpretationButWhatever

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 2:24 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - Look, Franny, I sent you 3 checks already. Tell the bank people checks signed in Crayon still work to get money from them #JasonKnowsThisAsFact

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 2:27 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer-This whole thing was a big misundercommunication. I thought Franny was a Fun Consultant. I didn’t have any fun not being Lt Congressman so I didn’t pay her. #BigKidsNeedToHaveFunToo #WearYourKoolGlassesWhenReadingStuff

Comment by Arthur Andersen Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 2:30 pm
Hey - AA -,

I have been in a foyer most of the day doing this and you made me laugh, “laugh” and the door opened to see what I thought was so funny. I don’t need you to make me look foolish, I can do that by myself, thanks! lol

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 2:45 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - Ha Ha. OW looked foolish, I know that must feel pretty silly #DidIJustAdmitSomething

Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 2:53 pm
@FakeJasonPlummer - I want to thank the GA Leaders for taking the spotlight if me and Franny. As far a Pensions go, every 10 years from now on I get a Luberyard or a bank, so all this confuses me. #PassGoCollectBankIrLumberyard

@FakeJasonPlummer, it is, of course, a quote from Phil Ponce to you back on the lite gov run.

Comment by BoBo Wednesday, Nov 27, 13 @ 3:30 pm
lol.

@FakeJasonPlummer - look “BoBo”, the Uber-Hack Ponce still didn’t best me. I bested me. To be honest, anytime I see “blank” it’s someone swearing at me but being polite, #BlankHasBeenUsedAlotTowardsMe

@FakeJasonPlummer -Wanna know something, when I can get all my friends to work on my next campaign, I will run again. Step one; find friends who will trust me. #StepTwoJustForgetIt
