VOTE FOR THOSE WHO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY

When he spoke about abuses of the peace by his tenants, Macher said, "I am not responsible" for their actions. When he was asked about his campaign workers' taping posters on vacant buildings without the owner's permission, in clear violation of federal election law, he said, "I am not responsible" for their actions. When his contractors performed work on his buildings without a building permit, he said, "I am not respnsible for their actions."

I agree with Macher. He is not responsible. Therefore, my vote will be for those who accept responsibility and have proven records of responsibility to the people of the city of Roanoke.
