From candidate Jean Tingley's site today

As the election gets nearer, I find the people are getting a bit bolder with making demands in exchange for their vote. Today, I was told there were four votes in the house in exchange for a guarantee and promise that the two men in the house would be given jobs driving the school buses. They didn’t want quite as much for the women, just 20 weeks flagging at government wages of $13.00 per hour. I am sure no politician worth their salt would make this promise, not even for four votes. I have no intention of selling my soul to the devil for votes. I am not about to start my political career owing anyone anything more than good representation. Another potential vote for a promise came with strings attached also. This person, wanted me to give him in writing my assurance that both he and his son would get on at the government garage for the next four years. What is the fascination with the gov’t garage? I get requests for those jobs all the time. The hair on the back of my neck stands up when they start insisting that I have to promise them something for their vote.
