I can't say a lot about Ward 9, but I couldn't let this comment about Sandy Colvin Roy's "positive campaign" go unanswered, though I apologize for the delay: Does this strike anyone as an example of "positive campaigning?" http://www.kevinmcdonald.org/kmvskm.html This is a lit piece that Colvin Roy distributed to Ward 12 residents. If you look carefully at Colvin Roy's attack piece, she is being INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING. The piece is conflating two different Klodt developments: Hiawatha Oaks and Hiawatha Flats. The McDonald campaign put out a piece of lit asking neighbors if they want the behemoth Hiawatha FLATS complex in their neighborhood. In the Colvin Roy piece, she shows a letter of support for Hiawatha OAKS from the Project Review Committee. Kevin took the high road, and also had legitimate issues to raise in this campaign and he raised them. The campaign did its best to educate voters and the media about some very complex issues going on in Ward 12. Mark Snyder Windom Park REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
