No free meals for voters




Every commissioner candidate got a Campaign Practices Manual. When I raised questions about the practice of treating voters to a free meal, my concern went unanswered.

But, the fact remains. Treating voters to a free meal is prohibited. Repeating it is willful violation. Calling it a community event or using others to “host” does not alter the fact.

Campaign rules are not partisan. They apply to all. Candidates are expected to understand and follow them. Candidates do not earn public trust by demonstrating contempt for rules and showing disrespect of voters.
