WPCNR CAMPAIGN 2007. By John F. Bailey. August 28, 2007: WPCNR has learned Tim James and Elizabeth Schollenberger, leaders of the Democratic City Committee will not file specific objections to the petitions of Robert Stackpole and Robert Levine to appear on the November ballot for Common Council.

Robert Levine said he has been told by informed sources the Democrats will drop their challenge filed with the Board of Elections last week.

This clears the way for a Levine Stackpole appearance on the November city elections ballot as independent candidates for Common Council challening Democrats Benjamin Boykin, Milagros Lecuoa and Dennis Power, and Republicans Cass Cibelli, Anthony Pilla and Augie Zicca and Conservative candidate Candyce Corcoran. It remains to be seen whether or not Corcorcan and incumbent councilman Arnold Bernstein will oust two of the three Democrat candidates in the Democratic Primary coming up September 18. Boykin, Lecuona and Power will still appear on the Working Families ballot in November, even if  two of them lose the Democratic Primary.
