On the street I get the impression that Lowe's continued presence in the trustees office was becoming a liability that Freddie Sisk couldn't manage as it became/and may continue to be a campaign issue.

Sisk is painted with the same brush that painted the rest of the ballot crowd that got tossed this month and he doesn't need to be painted by people working in his office.

Word to the opposition: Why didn't Sisk get rid of Lowe earlier? Will Sisk pledge in his campaign not to rehire him if elected? If Freddie gets beat in August and Lowe can't come back, will Lowe lawyer up and claim he was forced out because of the pending election?

Pass the popcorn and the junior mints Ferguson!
