[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Silverman used taxpayer-provided funds to conduct a poll that she then improperly shared with candidates to get them to drop out of the Council race. Silverman used to be a reporter, so she knows very well how seriously wrong this is.[/quote] This "taxpayer-provided funds" is a bit misleading. Silverman is a fair-elections candidate which means she gets matches of funds that she raises. So, yes, some of her campaign funds are provided by taxpayers. But, some of the funds aren't. I assume that it goes into one pot so it's impossible to say which funds ended up being used for the poll. But, if the cost of the poll was less than the amount Silverman raised from individuals, it could be argued that no taxpayer funds were used. Second, the PP has no way of knowing whether the poll was "improperly shared". That is speculation on the poster's part and not supported by evidence. [/quote]
