Newmarket's Manchurian Candidate

We now have two very reputable Newmarket residents claiming that they were approached by someone offering a "fully funded" campaign to run in Ward 6 against Councillor Di Muccio.  Both of these people declined the offer from this (so far) unnamed individual.  The only insight we have as to the conspirator's identity are comments from Darryl Wolk who claims that it was someone who would have provided endorsements from all other members of Council.   

Now all eyes turn to Kelly Broome-Plumley. 

Did she accept this deal?  Judging from the number of Council members (including Councillors Vegh, Kerwin, Sponga, and Mayor Van Bynen) who attended her campaign launch ... well, you will have to judge that for yourself. 

And the questions abound:

1) Do Ward 6 voters want someone who is "owned" by the other 8 Council members?

2)  What did Kelly promise to deliver to those who want Maddie Di Muccio gone so badly?  Did she offer her complicity and agree to turn a blind eye to all the things that Maddie has been exposing?

3) Will she agree to immediately publish the names of all those who have donated either time or money to her campaign?  She will have to make those names public after the election but why wait?  She should do so now given the seriousness of the allegations of "bought" candidate against her.  Don't voters deserve to know if there is a secret agenda at play and who is pulling the Kelly Broome-Plumley strings?

4) If Lucille Abate was the conspirator's first choice, and Darryl Wolk was their second choice, was anyone else offered the "fully funded" campaign before Kelly was approached?  Do we know if Kelly was the third, fourth or fifth choice?  Maybe she was even lower on their list of potential "Manchurian" candidates. 

The extent that the Gruesome Twosome Bloc will go through, (and the money they'll spend), to ensure that they silence Councillor Di Muccio should be a real eye opener for voters.  Maddie Di Muccio is only one vote of 9 on council.  On her own she can't block their agenda.  What she can do, (and she has done this effectively), is ask questions that exposes shady business, like the backroom deals and the wasteful spending.  And that is why they are trying so hard to get her out of office and replaced with someone that they themselves control. 

A good thing that Ward 6 voters get the final say in the matter. 

I think the choice on October 27th for Ward 6 is obvious.
