I got my mail today and was surprised (well, I guess I really wasn't) to see an "attack" piece put out by the Dean Kallenbach campaign about Dean Zimmerman today. It appears to have been mailed to all the voters and was prepared and paid for by the DFL.
The continuous negative campaign tactics employed by the Dean Kallenbach campaign is turning the campaign away from the focus on many important issues facing the sixth ward. I asked both candidates questions regarding important issues facing the sixth ward and have not recieved any response to those questions. Yet, the Kallenbach campaign has spent over a week disseminating negative attacks on Dean Zimmerman over his alleged comments regarding saunas on Lake Street. Dean Zimmerman posted a reasonable and credible response to both the Mpls Issues list and the Whittier One List on this issue and yet the Kallenbach campaign continues to use statements taken out of context to attack Dean Zimmerman. Attempting to instill fear in the voter by making them believe that Dean Zimmerman will offer legislation to re-open the saunas and somehow convince six other council members to vote for it is an insult to the intelligence of the voters in the sixth ward. To me it is a sign that Dean Kallenbach is a very weak candidate who can't run the campaign based on his own strengths, only a campaign based on attacking his opponents. Dean Zimmerman is running a positive campaign focused on his long record of activism on both political and environmental fronts. Dean Kallenbach has a long record of activism on ?????? Dean Zimmerman has stayed on the high road during this campaign and has not engaged in the negative attacks that have become the benchmark of the Kallenbach campaign. My hat goes off to Dean Zimmerman. Thanks for running a clean positive campaign. Barb Lickness Whittier Ward 6 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
