Bruce Murphy Helps Clarify Murky District #19 Electioneering

Milwaukee political analyst and blogger Bruce Murphy sees some in the school choice movement behind a negative flyer dropped to influence voting in the August 12 primary race for a Milwaukee Assembly seat in a safe, Democratic district.

I've said more than once I'm a Jonathan Brostoff supporter in that race: Murphy's piece is a useful GPS through the last-minute muck.

Murphy also writes about snarky ads being run against Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke by the Greater Wisconsin Committee, a liberal political group.

It is ironic that Clarke is unhappy about being targeted in the ads as "Sheriff-Spends-A-Lot" after having used public funds to run so-called policy ads that promote his grandiose style.

What's good for the goose, no?

Any public safety official who announces to the citizenry that they should arm themselves for defense because his own agency cannot be relied upon to come to their aid HAS GOT TO BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.

Clarke is not part of the solution. He is the problem!
