Palm Springs Mayor Candidate Arlene Battishill Call For Roxann Ploss to Withdrawal Candidancy Immediatly!

Letter from Palm Springs Mayor Candidate Arlene Battishill sent out via e-mail on 10/13/07 at 3:42pm.

I am calling for the immediate withdrawal of Roxann Ploss from the City Council race. I was shocked when I opened the paper late this morning to discover the details of Ms. Ploss' deception. I was also furious that this deception was revealed right after I had sent out a mass email endorsing her candidacy. I had no prior knowledge of Ms. Ploss' activities and feel betrayed to have discovered what I have. When Stefanie Frith interviewed me for the story, I thought all of the activity on the part of the candidates was a bunch of horseplay and was to be expected, but upon reading the details in the story today, I am shocked, saddened, and angry that I was taken in by someone who I truly believed would act in a manner that was going to make things better for us in Palm Springs. Apparently this is not so and I can only ask, no, DEMAND, that she withdraw from the race to demonstrate that she in fact does have some integrity. This election should not have taken this turn and this kind of behavior should have been weeded out a long time ago. Fortunately, we know what we do now and can do something about it. Rather than run the risk of something like this happening again, I will not endorse any other candidates.

What is your thoughts about Ms Ploss and should she withdrawal for miss leading Ms Battishill to get her endorsement for City Council?
