Departed Campaign Manager Unveils Parks Smear Campaign

Bernard Parks' field/campaign manager, Herb Wesson III, quit the campaign on September 10th because he was unhappy with Councilman Parks' smear tactics. Wesson, who is the son of City Councilman Herb Wesson, is quoted as saying that "there was some punk [two expletives deleted] going on that is not politics." Wesson continued his tirade against Parks:

"Parks is not right. He showed his card to me and I refuse to continue to be a part of his campaign. I am a young political operative and I have honorably won all the campaigns I've run and I will not have my reputation ruined by the ill-advised moves Parks believes he has to make to defeat Mark [Ridley-Thomas]."
