- The ODE printed a guest commentary by Amy L. Higdon today. In it, Higdon repeatedly blasts Conduct Code Committee members Jared Axelrod, Mike Filippelli and Nick Hudson for a press conference they held on March 6. What neither Higdon nor the Emerald note is her involvement in the Mann/Grace campaign- she is dating Todd Mann and is listed as his Assistant Campaign Manager on Facebook. It should also be noted that Axelrod is running against Mann in the Executive race, Nick Hudson is dating Vice-Presidential candidate Amy DuFour and on his Facebook profile Filippelli lists himself as a supporter of the Axelrod/Guzman ticket. I don’t know about anyone else, but this piece strikes me more as political posturing than anything else.
- Also in the ODE: a story by Senior News Reporter and
LincolnFranklin High basketball sensation Nick Wilbur on election deadlines and uncontested candidacies. If you’re at all interested in running for office just know that the deadline for signing up is March 22nd.
