Extremists Attempt to Distract from Merchant Incompetence
The only deflection and distraction occurring here is coming from the Merchant camp and her friends at E City Beat. They can’t deny Merchant’s numerous mistakes, so instead they are attacking those of us monitoring and reporting those mistakes. The EPC has done a tremendous job these last few months.

We’re the ones informing the public, and they don’t want voters to know just how badly Merchant is failing.
