Election questions

Question for the Advocate
On the endorsement which said "So, the question must be which candidate is most likely to improve our city by adding police officers and firefighters, paving our roads, seeking new good-paying jobs and delivering city services efficiently and effectively? Who has the leadership experience necessary to take a risk that could pay off for our community? Who's been willing to admit his mistakes with candor unlike any politician we've seen in years?

"To us, the answer is Bruce Bain."

My question to the Advocate: What newspaper you been reading?

Question for WCLT
"In the race for Newark City Council President we believe that Mr. Marmie deserves a chance. Mr. Gurthie's holding of public office for 30 years indicates career politician, something the Tax Payors can no longer afford."

My question to WCLT: Is this your idea of reward for 30 years of public service?

My other question to WCLT: Have you ever heard of Jay Hottinger?

Question regarding Frank Stare
His bad showing at the polls makes it all the more important to ensure that the wheels of justice were turning properly when the charge of solicitation was made only days before the election. There is no evidence, of course, but I think his smashing loss as candidate for council was influenced by the headlines, though the Advocate made it clear that he had not been convicted of anything.

What is now owed to Frank and his family and to all citizens is indisputable certainty that the accusers and anyone with a background role in this matter were interested only in seeing justice being served. Anything short of a full and impartial report on all such details will be unsatisfactory, and this matter will never go away.
