Streator mayor sits down with Cohen
Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 - Posted by Rich Miller * The Scott Lee Cohen “listening tour” stopped in Streator yesterday. And Cohen met with the town’s mayor, Jimmie Lansford…
He never did anything wrong? I thought he was trying to be upfront about his past. Now he’s Mr. Clean? Cohen is in Sangamon County today. * Meanwhile, Cohen reported loaning his campaign about $600,000 since the February primary and spent about $425K. Some of that was on bills for his lt. governor primary campaign, but much of it appeared to be directed towards launching his governor’s bid. Cohen reported just $114,000 on hand, but it’s likely he has more where that came from. Also, Cohen reported raising just $130 from individual contributors. Not $130K. $130.

Yup. As in, Cohen Green Cleaning Supplies–his imaginary eco-friendly company.

“Those are half-truths and lies,”Cohen told The Times. “Anybody who’s gone through a messy divorce knows how things get said and blown out of context. The truth is, I never did anything wrong.” […]
So does that mean he only held half a knife to her throat? That he paid 1/2 of the support he owes?

Cohen denied accusations he failed to pay child support, abused his ex-wife and held a knife to his girlfriend’s throat..
He held a knife to his child’s throat and failed to pay alimony.

It looks like he’s cutting into that Brady voter base in Streator. Bill has to be worried.

==“I dig that”==
said SLC, proving he knows the lingo of today’s youth-oriented culture, adding “I think wind farms are (slap) DYN-O-MITE!”

In defense of the Oswego and Streator guys, they were led to believe they were meeting the director of “The Big Lebowski.” Or his brother. However those guys work it.

You can’t even buy a massage and a decent blade for $130.00.

Why would the Mayor of Yorkville or Sreator think that “sitting down” with a wife beater, who has no chance of winning, would help their communities? A women, the Yorkville Mayor should be realy ashamed.

I think Cohen gets the Jim Oberweis Award for vanity campaign of the year
