Poston says he was
Poston says he was discouraged from bringing it up during the election. But, it's been more than a year since those elections were over. Seems strange to me that Poston is just now getting around to making these allegations. Well, maybe it's not strange. Maybe if you're trying to get the Mayor off page one and get the focus back on Commission it makes perfect sense.

I say keep them both on page one.
Bean wrote this story
in the Shopper in 2006 when it happened. As I recall, Poston had written something about a Commission filled with cartoon characters.... maybe he even said Daffy Duck. Scoobie took it personally. -- s.
