I am deeply offended by the negative campaign being run by Katie Eyre against Ben Unger. First she insults everyone in her district who is renting a home rather than buying, suggesting that renters are not "real" citizens of the community. Then she sends out campaign literature that is totally negative and has some actual lies in it. It is too bad Ms. Eyre cannot stick to running on her own record, and instead must resort to false smear tactics. Perhaps she is ashamed of her own record? I am an independent voter, and my vote will go to Ben Unger because Mr. Unger is a long time resident of Washington County with deep family ties to the area, he is committed to improving education, and he has run a campaign that is factual and has no negativity.
