Lou Miller Campaign Sinks into Desperation

The story is covered on hamdems.org and the chattanoogan.com. In a clearly illegal and desperate attempt to scare seniors into voting for Ms. Miller, her surrogates are putting signs up in the 6th District suggesting that her opponent, Mr. Brooks, will raise their taxes. Of course, this charge has been answered by the Brooks campaign repeatedly. He has flatly stated that he does not want to raise taxes, and will do his best to avoid doing so. But Ms. Miller, being the anti-school, one trick pony that she is, has nothing else to run on, and now that she's lost the battle regarding the residence of the Brooks family, she has nothing left to ride into the election on Tuesday.

For his part, Mr. Brooks has kept this a very positive campaign about new leadership in the 6th commission district (and has deservedly been endorsed by both editorial sides of our local paper). Ms. Miller cannot say the same, as her entire campaign has consisted of repetitive claims that Mr. Brooks does not live in the district (he does) and that the only reason he is running is to raise taxes (give me a freakin' break -- how would he benefit from that?). While Mr. Brooks has engaged in a serious discussion of the issues facing the county commission, Ms. Miller has brought up one distraction after another.

Hopefully, we won't have to hear from Ms. Miller again after Tuesday's election -- that is, if enough people from the 6th District get out to vote. What's your schedule look like on Tuesday? The polls are open from 8 am to 8 pm (take a friend with you!).
