Sometimes the price is not right

Politics is a nasty business. There's no denying it. Maybe I'm being incredibly naive but I just can't allow myself to get involved in games and deals that I don't think are above board. Today I put out a press release in the form of an open letter to the Citizens Association. I will not be seeking their endorsement. Frankly there are more reasons than just the "pay for play" method of having to "reimburse" the organization for their publicity. Reasons I won't go into on this blog. I realize many will consider this political suicide. The Citizens Association has a lot of money and power and whichever candidate they endorse will get a lot of backing. You know what? So be it. I didn't start this campaign to be another disappointment to the voters.
