City Clerk: Other Camp Guilty, Too

Huckleberries Online received the following message from City Clerk Susan Weathers a few minutes ago: “I just read through the blogs regarding the school board candidates’ yard signs. What is interesting to me is that the Purtee/Seymour camp is chastising the Brooks/Hemenway camp of putting political signs in their right-of-way. About a week before this controversy; the City had received a call about the Purtee/Seymour signs being in the right-of-way. One of my deputy City clerk’s called Ms. Seymour about the misplaced signs and they did remove them. When it comes to elections, when we receive a complaint, we call the candidate first to give them an opportunity to rectify the situation. It just struck me as interesting that the Purtee/Seymour camp is calling fowl on something they had done themselves.” Interesting.

“It just struck me as interesting that the Purtee/Seymour camp is calling fowl on something they had done themselves.”—fowl? Why did the chicken cross road? To take the other chicken’s signs in the right of way.

Leave it to CAVERs to take the law into their own hand. When they lose they’ll wanna secede.

Heh. I’d rather not think about it.

I find it interesting how Hollingsworth (Less) can come on to this site to explain what “Happened” and NEGLECT to say anything about the warning they had received.

Spokeloon mentioned in an earlier post that if Hollingworth was involved, the election was gonna be mean, ugly & nasty. Looks like Loon was dead on as Holingsworth has proven his point.

You’re right Sis…………. Bad Brain!!!! Bad!!!!!!!!

Spokelooneh,

Polls are open until 8pm, so first results should start coming in around 9pm

I’m just wondering when someone is going to make a joke about “calling fowl.”

@ Ray Gun; thanx for the update. Keep ‘em coming.

Unofficially, Edie Brooks by 7 votes. Recount underway.

@ Ray Gun; if Edie Brooks wins by 7 votes, I wonder if the yard sign fiasco might have been a turning point?

That’s too close to call. Are they examining each ballot for stray marks and such, or what? This could go either way. Why aren’t the numbers posted yet?
