slide18.pngThe constant battle between Hillary and Barack is not the only heated competition for election. Questions have been raised over the intentions of certain groups involved in the Calaveras County’s District 2 Supervisors race. Incumbent Supervisor Steve Wilensky believes the Calaveras County Association of Realtors political action committee is trying to buy his district 2 seat after the committee donated 7,000 to opponent John Morse’s campaign. The committee denied any ulterior motives in a press release, saying the donation was made with “no strings attached.” But the release also states that “there is a need for change on the Board. We are unhappy with the performance level that has led to moratoriums and the unrelenting assault on property rights and personal freedoms.”  While they may not be buying a candidate, they are buying an election, said Wilensky. The committee has continued to vehemently deny any involvement beyond a standard donation.
