Political Deception or Fraud?

On November 8, 2011, Patch Editor, Ms. Deborah Bell, published an article entitled:

Board Member's Political Endorsement Causes First Aid Squad Flap

(see: http://woodbridge.patch.com/articles/acfas-rejects-mccormac-endorsement-... for the full editorial)

Recent commentary from a  Board member of the Avenel Colonia First Squad and other sources that have made similar comments, anonymously, suggest Mr. Snowfield was neither the sole author of the letter he allegedly wrote endorsing John McCormac for mayor and his slate for the Woodbridge Town Council, nor Mr. Snowfield bearer the cost of the mailing to the 3rd Ward residents of Avenel.  That letter was posted just days before the November 8, 2011 Mayoral/Town Council election.

So who did write the letter and pay for the mailing?  Allegedly, none other than John McCormac! At present, it is unknown if any of the other members of the McCormac slate were aware of this alleged deception or if campaign funds were used to cover the cost of the mailing.

Certainly, if the allegation is true, it should go into the history books as one of the most deceitful, self-aggrandizing and utterly disgusting ploys a politician has foisted upon his constituency.  Could, or more importantly, should such an individual ever be wothy of public trust again!  What say you?
