Mary Verner

June 3, 2007 by Stuck In Spokane.

Two months ago I had never heard of Mary Verner, other then some faint notion she was a city council woman. I then got to see her at a debate at Roosevelt elementary towards the end of April, she seemed collected and to have good ideas. After that things just seemed to go down hill from there, and it has reached a point where I can no longer keep quiet.

Mary hired a campaign manager who has been involved heavily in fundraising in the past and has become known for his ability to raise large sums of money quickly, but balked when he actually tried to get her to raise… shock… Money. Because of this the campaign manager ended up leaving the campaign. Which left her with only one campaign staff, her field director. He did an excellent job in a tough situation, especially when the campaign lacked money to be able to do much in the way of anything, including paying its bills.

This past week however on the advice of Judith Gilmore (who loses every single thing she gets involved in) Mary Verner let her field director go (who had been given an award last year by the State Democrats as a rising star within the party). So to pour more salt in the wound of being replaced by a wing nut, the Verner campaign ostensibly seizes the field director’s computer to “remove campaign material” and six hours later the gentleman gets his computer back COMPLETELY blank, with absolutely nothing on it, including Windows.

I must say for a person who claims to want to be mayor of Spokane, she isn’t doing much to earn it. Good luck Mary, you’re going to need it as you continue to alienate your base.
