For whom Belle tolls… not for thee
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008In this issue’s column, I tackle the apparent botched attempt by School Board President Fleet Belle to run a game on his opponent in the upcoming runoff election. It looks a lot like Fleet and his campaign engaged an elderly woman to file some complaints against Levon Manzie, and then possibly tried to get the school board’s attorneys involved, too boot.
Frankly, Belle just doesn’t seem to bring much to the table. With his tax problems, past use of the office to get family members sweet deals and poor judgment displayed while in office, Belle should be bounced.
