Florist Dawn LaBow said she voted for Guinta both times he ran for mayor and thinks he helped make the city safer. But she was still undecided yesterday, nagged by concerns about a bank account worth between $250,000 and $500,000 that Guinta failed to initially list on his campaign disclosure forms.
"That's not pocket change," she said. "I like him, but I'm worried about that money."
Sarah Fleming, a 24-year-old who works and lives downtown, said she wouldn't vote for Guinta after seeing an ad this week highlighting his firm pro-life stance.
"That just completely floored me," she said. "From that time on, I was just like 'no.' "
One clarification for Ms. LaBow - Manchester was less safe under Mayor Frank Guinta:
Crime has increased dramatically with Guinta serving in City Hall. In fact, since 2008, burglaries have gone up over 30% and violent crime is up almost 10%. (Manchester Police Department, "Crime Data," accessed 1/21/10)
Guinta has slashed law enforcement funding that would strip the Manchester police of 11 officers. (New Hampshire Union Leader, 4/22/08)
As for the request by NHDP for a criminal investigation into Guinta's magical bank accounts, US Attorney John Kacavas is not offering comment yet on whether or not he will proceed.
