Cost To The Taxpayers when You Want To Get Rid Of Your Competition

Three candidates are running for Mayor in Bethalto. Alan Winslow, HowardLewis, and Clyde Jones. Like other elections in the area, it seems to be easy for one of the candidates to come up with an idea to eliminate the competition. That is what Howard Lewis tried to do with some limp ideas to
get rid of Alan and Clyde. I, Clyde Jones wish to inform the tax payers in Bethalto, that this kind of activity costs money. Not Howards money, your money (the tax payer). Listed below are the costs for Howard to attempt to get rid of his competition. It did not work but you still have the bill:
