Jeremy Martin’s legacy: Hood, Franks still sending a message Seems it wasn’t good enough for Franks to beat Martin by eight percent of the vote with a 3-t0-1 campaign fund advantage.

Will Benford finally triumph in tax assessor runoff?
The Clarion-Ledger, 8/24/7 In a little more than 20 years, Dorothy Benford has run unsuccessfully for at least 10 local, state or federal public offices.
