Where Polly Stands

31 Comments
Polly Adams Mervine's candidacy for the Senate was launched on Monday, and she has a campaign website up and running too. He campaign slogans: "Roots Run Deep in Sussex," and "Another Generation of Leadership," in case it was not obvious already that she is Adams' daughter. Her campaign is also on Facebook and you can follow her on Twitter. And on her website she has an issues section, if you can call general bromides issues.

Senator Adams’ Last Punch in the Gut

I have been talking to a few people downstate recently and have been getting a feel for the race for Adams seat. Honestly, I don't know a damned thing about Polly, so I cannot tell you whether or not she would make a good Senator or not... But this post isn't about Polly. It is about what her Father pulled in his 2nd to the last day in the Senate. It is about the Violent Crimes Compensation Board (now re-formed as the Victims’ Compensation Assistance Program) and what the restructuring meant to one of Thurman Adams' friends, Leah Betts.
