What are Paul Scott's True Values and Ambitions?

Fenton resident Marilyn J. Daniels voices her opinion.

I’ve received an invitation to attend a fundraising party for Paul Scott and I’m wondering why the August 1st fundraising party was held in Flushing, which is not even inΒ theΒ district thatΒ he actually represents.Β Β Is itΒ because he's trying to avoid the embarrassment of running into his actual constituents who are intent on recalling him and are going door to door throughout his 51stΒ District with recall petitions?Β  What other reason could Mr. Scott have for not holding his "celebratory" fund-raiser in a village, city, town, or township in the district thatΒ he actually represents?Β 

Β Holding a fundraiser in affluentΒ Flushing smacks of more Paul Scott hypocrisyΒ to me.Β Β Other Paul Scott hypocrisies areΒ stating his belief in family values to get the social conservative vote, while fathering a child out of wedlock, and, oh yes, keeping it a secret until after the 2010 elections.Β  Another was running for the position of Secretary of StateΒ after serving for only a short period of his State Representative’s job.Β  This makes it difficult to believe that Paul Scott’s true desire is to represent the folks of the 51st.Β  And now he's having fund raisers asking for more money so he can run for ourΒ State Representative again.Β  Really?Β 

We in theΒ 51st are skeptical of Mr. Scott’s real values and true ambitions and are feeling like a stepping stone for Paul Scott's political career.Β  With the track record he’s creating, he should fit right in with the Washington crowd.Β Β Β
