At a recent debate Commissioner Mitchell told listeners she was not concerned with the amount of endorsements that Mayor Muoio had received. It was of no consequence to her.

She was happy to report she had received the two PAC endorsements that were most important to her: City Watch and the newly formed SEPAC (South End Political Action Coalition). SEPAC was formed with the help of her BFF Commissioner Materio for the benefit of Commissioner Mitchell, Len Fintzy, and Cory Neering in the upcoming election.

In my opinion SEPAC is being marketed as a grassroots efforts borne from residents when nothing could be further from the truth. As I stated in my earlier story, “How to Steal an Election”, City Watch’s endorsements were bought and SEPAC was founded a few days before Commissioner Mitchell filed. Neither are true grassroots efforts.

I believe these are the only two endorsements Commissioner Mitchell received.

Unfortunately there was a problem with SEPAC and the “Thumb’s Up” the candidates received from them.

In able for you to fully understand the story I must mention the names of two people involved, and this is right out of “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not”

Taylor Materio is the daughter of Commissioner Materio.

Taylor McLeod is the future Daughter in Law of Katherine Waldron, candidate for City Commission, District 2.

Both Taylor’s do, or have done, business with Mad Dog Mail.

Taylor McLeod received an e-mail, intended for Taylor Materio, from Mad Dog Mail asking her to approve a campaign mailer and pay the invoice for $5,929.65. Here is the e-mail received. Please read e-mail dated 3/3/15 @1:37 PM from Matt Martz, then 3/3/15 @ 7:15 PM from McLeod to Katherine. Told you it was right out of “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” Ms.McLeod, & Katherine Waldron requested their e-mail address be blocked, and I blocked all e-mail addresses from publication.

Taylor,

heres the second piece and the invoice for it. If Dodger hasn’t already fedexed the first check if he could add a check for this piece to, that would help on our end

payment and approval need to be quick just like on the last piece

thanks

PAC’s are not legally allowed to coordinate mailings with candidates or candidate staff. The e-mail clearly shows that SEPAC coordinated with Beth Kennedy, campaign manager for Mitchell, Fintzy and Neering, and please notice Richard Pinsky, lobbyist and ex husband of Commissioner Mitchell, was also copied.

As a result, an ethics compliant has been filed. So stay tuned…
