In a press release sent on Monday afternoon, after his speech, Lurie called out seven “mounting ethics issues facing Mark Farrell,” naming among other things the, thereby ensuring they can secure their opponents’ second- and third-place votes. In a ranked-choice election, Lurie’s path to victory likely lies through knocking Farrell out in an initial round and picking up his No. 2 picks.
Lurie is proposing that sitting members of the Board of Supervisors be prohibited from running for Democratic County Central Committee — another oblique reference to Farrell.to entertain people after being elected. He kept the account open and accepted large donations from entities that had businesses before City Hall — including $5,000 from the city’s trash service provider Recology and $2,500 from Mayes Oyster House, a restaurant on Polk Street.
