Do we want this kind of attitude leading our district?

Many of you might have read about the allegedly threatening voicemail that John Bailey (husband and campaign manager of District 8 City Council candidate Sharon Bailey) left a resident of Curtis Park after being contacted about the Bailey campaign's alleged illegal placement of campaign signs.

Well, now that the District 8 city council race will be decided by a pending run-off election between Sharon Bailey and Carla Madison, I was even more interested in learning whether the voice mail in fact existed.

And it does in fact exist. I was fortunate enough to finally obtain a copy of this voice mail last week, and I have to say, while it isn't as dramatic as I had expected based on what I had read, to me it still shows extremely poor judgement and a level of intimidation that reinforces my apprehension about what style of leadership Mr. and Mrs. Bailey might espouse if elected (You're getting 'em both if Ms. Bailey is elected folks, just like Billary).

I encourage anyone planning on voting for Ms. Bailey to send me an email so that I can provide you the opportunity to hear the voicemail and be your own judge whether or not it warrants consideration when deciding who to vote for.

Thanks for reading--And whomever you're supporting in the upcoming run-off election, get your vote counted!
