Desperate Times Call for Stupid Comments

This one falls under the say anything category, someone might believe it.

From the Herald-Leader:

“Mayor Teresa Isaac went on the attack yesterday, trying to tie challenger Jim Newberry to Vice Mayor Mike Scanlon. Isaac said Scanlon couldn't get elected mayor himself, so he was trying to buy the election for Newberry.…….Newberry said Isaac went on the attack because she knows she's behind.

"She's desperate," Newberry said.”

I have to agree with Newberry.

The only election Mike Scanlon every bought was his own election to the LFUCG Council. Scanlon spent $115,422.30 of his own money to get elected to the Council.

As for contributions to Newberry, Scanlon and his wife have personally donated the same amount to Tom Blues in his campaign for the seat in the 2nd District.

This sort of wild claim by Teresa just turns off voters that are exhausted by the constant bickering between the Mayor and the Council. It is just plain politically stupid to do this.
