The headline reads like a novel, “In Northvale council race, dueling flyers target candidates over arrest, extremism”, but we ask where are the “dueling flyers”.
A duel, according to Webster, “a conflict between antagonistic persons, ideas, or forces; also : a hard-fought contest between two opponents”. While we agree this is a contest, a political contest, usually when the word duel is used to describe flyers, there are opposing flyers.
In this case, the only flyers that target candidates are from the “Campaign for a Better Northvale”. Are the innuendos with these buzzwords, “radical”, “extremist” and “terrorist” to “Better Northvale”?
The Durfee – Singer campaign has only published their bio’s and created door hangars to inform our fellow citizens of our intent to reign in the out of control spending and continual taxation. We have highlighted who we are and why we are running. The issues we are running on: Taxes, Transparency and Accountability. That doesn’t sound like mud-slinging to us, only having to defend ourselves against the attacks from the one-party rule that has gone on for far too long.
So you decide who the “duel” is really with.
See the article about the mud-slinging here. Then decide, if you haven’t already cast your vote, who are the more viable candidates for council.
