At last. Some humor in a campaign***

In the all way too serious city elections up for May 19, there has been a notable lack of humor.
Yet, a glimmer emerged Monday and, from all places, the campaign of Councilman Jack Weiss, who is running for City Attorney.
Opponent Carment Trutanich has said he will not participate in any more debates with Weiss and Sheriff Lee Baca has pulled his endorsement from Weiss because of the negative tone of his most recent television commercial.
As a result, Weiss campaign manager Ace Smith sent a letter to Baca challenging him to a debate with Weiss.
"First, Trutanich refused to debate," Smith said. "Now he appears to have enlisted in the witness relocation program. Carmen has gone into hiding, and he's hiding behind surrogates rather than confronting the disqualifying details about his record of support for polluters and gun groups,
"Jack Weiss isn't afraid to debate anyone. If Carmen Trutanich doesn't have the courage to defend his deplorable record on polluters and guns, we will meet Sheriff Baca at high noon."
Too bad that we don't have an OK Corral anywhere in town.
***Smitgh later put out a release defending the commercial, along with a statement of support from the James Bradey campaign.
