  Based on the reports filed on Wednesday, Collins officially went over the $3,000 ceiling during the second quarter report period of his campaign (April 16-June 30).
  
  There are two conclusions one can logically come to given this information:
  
  Commissioner Collins intentionally withheld the information on when he went beyond the $3,000 threshold in order to abstain from submitting the requisite paperwork. Commissioner Collins inadequately managed his campaign finances and was not aware that he was over the threshold until January 2007.
  
  Collins has claimed that he believed he passed the threshold limit late in the campaign.Clearly, his paperwork disputes that claim.If he went over $3,000 in June and didn't know, how then could he be nearly $5,000 over by November and not know that?
  
  In all, Collins finished with $7,777.30 in contributions - $4,777.30 over the $3,000 threshold for his November race against eventual winner Democrat Bettie Gurganus.
  
  Rose Whitehurst, Director of Onslow County Board of Elections claims that there was nothing unusual in Collins submitted reports.
  ...
  "The state people and the local people are having some difficulty in agreeing on exactly when the time limit was and when it should have been reported and some other issues building into these reports," Collins said.
  ...
  It's apparent that if Collins went over the threshold in June, he should've known about it before the elections in November.
  
  Commissioner Collins has a lot of explaining to do…How can he campaign for four months without knowing that he was over $3,000?Is his management system so inept that he was not maintaining the appropriate reports during his campaign?

  This is bad news for Commissioner Collins, though his political career will be over when his stint as County Commissioner ends.Nobody wants their political career marked with a big, dumb mistake.
