Marcum vs. Tillman: Pot, meet kettle. (Kettle is black.)

 

 

 

 

One of our loyal readers — who happens to work in Southern Pines town government — offered up an interesting comment on state Senate candidate John Marcum’s elections board complaint against Jerry Tillman:

“If THIS isn’t the pot calling the kettle black, I don’t know what is.  Political signs are not allowed to be put up in Southern Pines until tomorrow [April 24].  Yet,  John Marcum has had signs up all over the town’s right of way for at least two weeks. Mr.  Marcum needs to take a good hard look at himself before he makes accusations against someone else.   Before he claims the title of election law expert, he needs to make sure HE is following all of the rules himself.  You know what they say about throwing stones in glass houses.”
