Wack: 1999 incident may affect some L/A voters in Senate race

Blogger Kevin Wack points out one reason why a handful of voters might have a grudge against Senate candidate and U.S. Rep. Tom Allen (D-Portland).

Wack covered politics for the Portland Press Herald up until several months ago, and left when they offered voluntary buyouts as a means of cutting staff. Since then he has started a blog following Maine’s U.S. Senate race between Allen and incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-Bangor).
