(La Porte County, IN) - An anonymous flyer casting the La Porte County Auditor and candidate for La Porte County Commissioner Tim Stabosz in a very negative light has been posted on social media as today’s primary election winds down.

 

The flyer, among other things, accuses Stabosz of ruining the county government's credit rating and weaponizing his office to go after anyone, including other Republicans, who oppose his alleged agenda. Stabosz is also accused of being in control of a majority of the La Porte County Republican Party.

 

“Now he wants to be your county commissioner!” the flyer states.

 

The flyer also alleges other Republican candidates for elected office are controlled by Stabosz and it’s time to “put an end to this dynasty” by voting for Republican candidates not connected to Stabosz.

 

Commissioner Joe Haney, who’s running unopposed for the Republican Party nomination for a second term, said all of the allegations in the flyer, including those against him, are not true. He said the flyer, which shows the other faction of the party he described as “The Swamp,” is desperate.

 

“I think it’s pretty laughable. It just shows the desperation that some folks are willing to go to maintain the status quo. Nothing on it is accurate,” he said.

 

Stabosz is opposed in the race for commissioner by Martin Smith and Steve Holifield.
