So the DSEA weighs in with a mailer for Doc Mike Katz. Doc Mike is, evidently, the “right decision”. Frankly, I think that you should call Doc Mike per the instructions of the mailer @ 302-735-1781. The problem is that when someone picks up the phone, it is likely going to be Darryl or Carol Scott, because the number on the mailer is not Doc Mike’s number. Check the link to the White Pages…
Oops, but that’s just poor proof-reading and kind of funny. It’s that the piece is out-right wrong that is the problem…
The piece says that Doc Mike:
- Supported necessary school funding to prevent teacher layoffs and keep class sizes at reasonable levels.
- Voted for uninterrupted construction of new schools
However, Doc Mike voted against the Bond Bill in 2011 (The only NO vote in the Senate), and against Budget bills in both 2011 & 2012.
Therefore, Doc Mike did NOT vote for uninterrupted construction — to the contrary, he voted against it! And, unless the DSEA is now endorsing no salary increases or program expansion, he voted against the “necessary funds to prevent layoffs & keep reasonable class sizes”…
So I guess that means that the DSEA is now either 1) endorsing no pay increases for their members; 2) they’re just lying about Katz for political reasons or 3) they just replaced Darryl Scott’s name with Doc Mike without updating the copy to reflect Doc Mike’s actual voting history.
In truth, I have to assume that it was item 3 in the list, but the piece is still outright wrong.
Is being fraudulent in a mailer a campaign finance violation??? Call Doc Mike and ask? Oh, yeah, you can’t not only because the number on the mailer is wrong, but Doc Mike has an unlisted number (How’s that for constituent service?)…
DSEA has a long history of templated mailers – they did the same thing in 2010: https://resolutedetermination.wordpress.com/2010/10/18/dsea-endorsements/
Might as well put 867-5309 on them and let Jenny answer the phone.
