WwkVoter, it will be interesting to see how much that incident counts against her, in light of the current budget situation that Mayor Solomon and the Democratic City Council are in, due to their own decisions.

All Stenhouse has to say is "they didn't raise taxes to cover the budget last year and your taxes went up by the maximum allowed by the state this year as a result" and put Solomon on the spot to explain it.

He won't be able to blame Avedisian anymore, and his hands-off approach to the FY19 budget won't somehow let him avoid blame for it.

If she makes it a pocketbook election -- one focused on peoples' money and how the city is spending it -- she has a chance to make it close.

This will already be the closest vote in a generation, after Avedisian's record of thoroughly defeating every challenger since 2000 -- but I wouldn't be surprised if the final margin is fewer than 200 votes.
