Anonymous letter from an unhappy Ward 4 Democrat

This was in yesterday's mail, but I just got to it now. It was in a plain white envelope with no return address.

In separate, unrelated emails, were these photos.

*******

I'm really surprised. I had no idea that there are Dems in Ward 4 who feel this way about their endorsed candidate. 

Remember this? Is this the same T. Michael Brown? I got crucified over that one. He still trash talks me on Facebook, calling me crazy. Well, he ended up resigning before the election and John Bendel ran unopposed. So yeah. The Republicans have their share too.

A moral compass for the town?

One of the good old boys from the RCML strikes again. This time, T. Michael Brown submitted this opinion to the PG. Political boasting In case he has forgotten, Dan Miller was first on the scene of a burning house, while driving through Ohio. Firefighter makes valiant effort Is Remely proud of himself for wanting to relax the fire codes standards for our high school renovation? They push...and push...and push Is this why he sent one of his henchmen to attack Miller?

Does the name T. Michael Brown sound familiar? It should. Is this the same T. Michael Brown I knew it was the same T. Michael Brown all along. Ironically, I had contacted then president of the commission, Dan Miller, since I didn't know what to do about the packet. President Miller recommended that I not make any accusations toward T. Michael Brown. Then this article came out. Candidate withdraws from Mt. Lebanon commission race

T. Michael Brown's letter is laughable. He certainly is no moral compass for Mt. Lebanon.

Brown withdrawing from race

Mt. Lebanon commission candidate plans to withdraw from race

A candidate running for D. Raja`s former seat on the Mt. Lebanon Board of Commissioners is walking away from his campaign, not long after someone anonymously mailed packets to politicians and media outlets, including the Tribune-Review, listing traffic tickets and one misdemeanor conviction with his name on them.
Thomas M. Brown told fellow Republican and incumbent commission candidate Joseph DeIuliis on Tuesday that he was withdrawing from the race for the Ward 1 seat Raja left to run for Allegheny County Executive. Brown declined to comment on the contents of the mailed packet.
The citations date as far back as 1988 and include charges filed in Akron, Ohio, the City of Pittsburgh, Donegal, Mt. Lebanon and Moon. Most are for speeding violations although there was a citation for disorderly conduct, for which he plead guilty, two charges of harassment that were withdrawn or dismissed, and a charge of simple assault in May 2008 that required Brown to participate in a program for first time offenders.
Brown confirmed he would follow up Tuesday night with a letter to the Mt Lebanon Republican Committee, but declined to comment on whether the contents of the packet were a factor. He will not petition Common Pleas Court to have his name removed from the ballot, but he would stop all campaigning, he said.
Though DeIuliis said Brown informed him that he was dropping out, he did not specify that the digging into his past was the reason.
"When you dabble in politics, you find out how ruthless it is," DeIuliis said. "I would assume that factored into it."
