You mean this?
Rachel Goligoski, 39, said she was upset about the prospect of seeing Benanav at a precinct caucus next week when she smashed a picture frame and threw a potted plant at him during a confrontation in his third-floor office.
"I'm not a disgruntled citizen," Goligoski said, discounting a phrase that a city official used Wednesday to describe the incident. "I'm a disgruntled ex-lover."
"He said he wanted us to get married," she said. "He wanted to spend the rest of his life with me."
She said she became angry and pushed and kicked Benanav. She said Benanav lunged at her during the confrontation but did not strike her. She said, however, she suffered bruises during a brief scuffle and is considering filing an assault complaint.
Goligoski said she met Benanav a year ago while organizing an antiwar event.
Big deal. He's a democrat. Such behavior is not only overlooked by decent democrats, it's defended by the others.

Ah, um, er... I feel a little silly being the only person to mention the elephant in the room... but wasn't there a disgusting little scandal involving Benenav not THAT long ago? I mean, I used to really like Jay Benenav - even had his lawn sign in my yard during the last election - but now I'm not so sure. How will this effect his chances? Or am I just totally naive? (I'm actually NOT a politician!)

Erin, it seems like there are quite a few rumblings about folks trying to
persuade Jay Benanav to run again. He has achieved some major milestones in
his last few years on the council, creating a record that shows clear
leadership and a willingness to strike compromises between constituents and
other community groups.
Jay frequently clarifies the mayor's "no-tax" rhetoric by pointing out that
items like "streetlight maintenance fees" that are assessed to homeowners,
schools & churches, are really just another form of property tax, even
though Randy likes to brag that there have been no property tax increases
for 12 years. I need to start taking rhetoric lessons from Randy and the
other Republicans...
There was little to no discussion of Chris Coleman's candidacy, and the most
frequent comments I keep hearing are: "Randy-lite" or "feigning interest for
long periods of time" or "totally undistinguished record on the council."
'Not an auspicious start, despite the heavy-hitters on his campaign
committee that many of us puzzled over.
I'm hoping it's just an excess of egg nog and spiked cider (protecting us from a blast of the cold) that are keeping us otherwise occupied, and not yet engaged in this new race. Also, after our recent election cycle, the amount of energy we expended needs to be restored and recharged as we take time for the holidays and slow down a bit.
I am also curious about the race for County Commissioner that will take
place in only a couple of months, with Sue Haigh's departure. That will be a
short one - 60 days is specified in the election statute, I think, so it
will be a fun little winter contest keeping the political junkies among us
entertained. Any idea who is considering that race?
Happy Holidays!

So, did everyone see the article about Jay Benanav maybe running for mayor?
Has
anyone heard anything more or gotten the inside scoop? I think he could
beat
Kelly, although he'll need to muster a lot of money and support to do it.
But
given how close their last race was...
