We’re one week and one day before Newton’s municipal election, a time when tensions traditionally rise and campaigns explore different ways to get an edge.
And this seems like as good a time as any to urge participants – but especially anyone running for office or working on a campaign — to acquaint or reacquaint yourself with our commenting rules.
We strongly recommend reading the full rules (they are not long) but wanted to call particular attention to this portion regarding anonymous comments.
.. if an elected official, city employee, candidate, developer, or close associate (such as an immediate family member, employee, campaign worker, etc.) of one of those people, comments anonymously about a person or an issue relevant to his/her city job, business with the city, office, office sought, or election, that would be a violation. If you are discovered to be sock puppet you may be blocked from participating here and outed on the blog post in question.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. May the best candidates win.
