Posters Depict Ward 3 Candidate As Obese, Hairy Devil

In the final days of the Ward 3 campaign, one candidate is being accused of shady dealings via a poster campaign primarily focused on the uptown.

The anonymous posters, which have been stapled to posts and signboards, depict Gerry Lowe as an horned, hairy Satan-figure and accuse the former Vet's Taxi owner of entering the race only to pad his pockets and acquire vacant lots on which he can build on for free.

Lowe tells CHSJ News he'd not too concerned the posters will influence anyone, calling the person behind it "a very sad individual."

Lowe says his priorities do include seeing vacant lots filled up, but that is simply in order to enlarge the tax base. He says that's the only way the tax rates will come down.
