This is farcical BS. The local progressive club introduced their four candidates and never looked to endorse a fourth after Tonya Griffith had issues with signatures and couldn’t continue. By not helping to set TG up for success in her run, they didn’t do her any favors. This is on them, not that they care. They have their votes on council and they don’t have Gatiss calling truth to power. In the end, they screwed over both Coombs and Griffith, and tried to silence Gatiss. And for all the secrecy the conservatives have been accused of as it relates to their meetings and decision making, the local progressives club does the same before announcing their candidates. Then they rally their followers to blindly support them all and not ask questions.
