Post Card Exposes Ken Cockayne.

Ken Cockayne, the mayor of Bristol, has dodged, acknowledged, and apologized for his treatment of a municipal employee. The ongoing scandal has been costly to the town and often shrouded in mystery. It has been an expensive embarrassment for Bristol. A lawsuit by an employee alleging harassment and retaliation by Cockayne was filed in June by corporation counsel legal secretary Noelle Bates.

Cockayne’s behavior was bound to be an important issue as he seeks a third term in this fall’s municipal election. The post card above has been appearing in local mailboxes. It does not include the mandatory disclaimer indicating who paid for it, but local voters may overlook that as they are caught by its incendiary form.

Cockayne should not be surprised that this is what he has wrought for Bristol.
