Shey weathers smear campaign from McGrane
Nov. 29, 2009 12:31 am
Pat Shey has run a positive, door-to-door campaign. He let the voters talk to him, even giving out his home phone number.
Jerry McGrane took $20,000 of special interest money and ran a smear campaign that, as the media pointed out, was deceptive. When asked about his tactics, McGrane's response was no comment.
We need people willing to talk about their goals, accomplishments and their record; we don't need people who hide behind special interest money and trash talk their opponents. We need people like Pat Shey on city council.
