SPENCER MAYOR DID ANONYMOUS MAILING - Roane Political Battle

(05/19/2002)
The mystery around an anonymous mailing of a political slate for the Roane County Democratic Executive Committee has been solved. Spencer Mayor Terry Williams told the Times Record/Roane County Reporter, he was responsible.

A candidate for the executive committee, Spencer resident Don Yoak, has filed a formal complaint regarding the postcard mailing, stating "It is against the law...I want these people punished."

The postcard did not contain legal ownership, stating who was responsible for the material. The card listed preferred candidates for each voting district.

In the political battle, a charge has also been lodged against Yoak, who did not indicate he was responsible for his own political printing.
