Both ways

As to her reaching out to friends and neighbors, I must say that I am neither a friend nor neighbor, yet I received her endorsement email, complete with attached candidate campaign material. So did others who did not solicit it. Considering the fine line she is attempting to walk, should she not have ensured that her endorsements were shared exclusively with those requesting them? Failure to do so is poor judgment on her part, to say the least!
No amount of official explanation will undo the perception she has created for herself as a manipulator. Perhaps it is time Ms. Palamountain stop trying to influence elections and instead regain the integrity her position demands.
