Scene magazine reports that Martin Sweeney has made a series of questionable payments during his campaign.
One of those is $5000 to Bullock campaign manager Ryan Puente for "consulting".

Im shocked!

Sweeney deserves the title SLEAZY.

When will voters wise up and say “Enough!”

A vote for Sweeney is a vote for the corrupt Cuyahoga Democratic Machine.

The reason why Cuyahoga will never be what it could be - the pols are too busy sucking at the taxpayer’s teat and gettin payoffs to actually do one thing to move this area forward.

I kept the Sweeney slime piece for future reference. I need to keep it in a plastic bag because it's so vile.

In rereading it, I'm noticing that he is accusing Nickie of Trump like tactics but uses two Trumpian phrases: "dark money" and "fake news". The fake news of course is the settlement for his sexual misconduct. And I understand from other deck posts that Sweeney is intimately familiar with dark money. It seems that others sympathetic to the established party machine and Build Lakewood use a similar Trump vocabulary.
