Candidates need to be transparent

Posted March 31, 2009 11:00 pm

If I was a candidate running for public office and I got a ticket for driving an uninsured vehicle but I just didn't have my insurance card with me, I would want to clear up the matter immediately. Wouldn't you?

Yet District 158 candidate Larry Snow still hasn't produced his proof of insurance for the date of his car accident, which was more than a month ago. He has had many opportunities to clear up the matter, yet he told his lawyer to get a continuance of the case until the end of April. His election against Mike Skala is April 7.

District 158 voters deserve to know whether or not Larry Snow, who has called for transparency in all areas of District 158, was intentionally driving without insurance, which is against the law. Could it be that Snow thinks transparency should only apply to other people?
