U.S. Sen. Rand Paul wrote in a letter last week to nearly 350 members of the Republican Party of Kentucky's central committee that he had transferred $250,000 to a state GOP account to cover the initial costs of holding a presidential caucus next year.
But committee members told the Herald-Leader on Tuesday that Paul hasn't provided a dime.
In his letter, which was mailed about a week before the committee is to vote on whether to move forward with the caucus that Paul has requested, Paul wrote that he had already "transferred $250,000 in an RPK account to begin the funding."
"Very little of the funding is needed in August, but I wanted to make sure there was plenty in there as we move forward," Paul wrote.
That is not what happened.
Scott Lasley, chairman of the Warren County Republican Party and the man in charge of a special committee to develop rules for the caucus, said Paul's letter "seems to be creating some confusion" among committee members.
"The letter states that the money has been transferred but was postmarked on the 13th," Lasley said. "As of last Friday, it was my understanding that the money had not yet been transferred."
The money had not been transferred as of Tuesday, and aides to Paul said it won't be until the committee approves the caucus proposal, assuming that it does, when it meets Saturday in Frankfort.

So he is a liar in addition to being a nut job.
Checks in the mail...
Did he gamble it away on his own losing campaign?
