requires.

One would think officials there

would be especially sensitive to

legal publication requirements.

This summer, while the man

continued his campaign for elec-

tion to the city council, the Parks

and Recreation Department placed

the schedule of summer events as a

two-page advertisement in his

paper----an act many interpret as an

overt endorsement of his candidacy

by the city officials, or so it would

appear.

It was also rumored that mem-

bers of the city council were pre-

pared to appoint this candidate to a

seat being vacated by one of their

members who was resigning to take

a job as a city department head.

(That's a whole other issue.) That

didn't happen. The appointment, I

mean. And I have no hard evidence

that the rumor is true, although I

heard it fromtwo different people.

Had this rumored plan come

about, however, this man obviously

would have had somewhat of an

advantage over other candidates as

he would have been an incumbent.

A brief one, but an incumbent, nev-

ertheless. Perhaps the rumor was

just that, nothing but gossip and

conjecture.

But then a local activist, yeah, I

was surprised there was one in

Wayne, too, called me this week to

scold me for not publicizing any of

this, claiming that I was dilatory in

my responsibility to the community.

I admit, I have been hesitant,

because I'm certainly not an objec-

tive observer in this and the poten-

tial for being accused of personal

prejudice is strong. I have an

unpleasant personal history with

this candidate and we, occasionally,

do compete for news.

And, frankly, the apathy I've seen

in Wayne made publicizing these

apparent moral and ethical tres-

passes seem an exercise in futility.

But perhaps she's right. Maybe I

should have made an issue of this

long ago. I admit, I just didn't want

to be accused of airing my personal

grievances publicly.

The thing that pushed me over

the edge was this comment: “Do

you realize the same guy he had

writing for him and who placed the

legal ads with him and who OK'd

the city checks to him will be over-

seeing the counting of the votes on

electionnight?”

Yeah, I did. But I figured that, in

Wayne, where nobody has ques-

tioned any of these things so far,

nobody gave a flying fig.

Let me be clear, I'm casting no

aspersions on the city clerk and

have no doubt he will be fair and

impartial in his sworn duties. It's

just that unpleasant “appearance of

wrongdoing” potential that nags at

me and provides fodder for the con-

spiracy theorists andmalcontents.

We can onlywait and see.
