A new year with the same old Island politics

Kenny Mitchell took advantage of insider knowledge....plain and simple. His completing and submitting the required signatures by 0900 Monday, giving him the first column on the ballot, was a sneak attack, and in my opinion unfair to the other candidates. Was it illegal? no, unethical? yes. Why the fear? I believe, based on the size alone of his volunteer force, that he would likely have won the race to collect signatures anyway. I don't think any other candidate has 100 volunteers. His actions are indicative of typical Island politics and are why I feel a sweeping change is needed. This 'sneak attack' shows the kind of man he is, the kind of campaign he will run, and the type of councilman he would be if elected.
