Tagger claims shenanigans.
I know that most, if not all, posters here aren't a fan of Michelle Dubious. However, what the hell is Tagger doing. Not only accusing Dubois but Sullivan as well. Whomever is doing his PR work isn't doing it very well.
Former mayoral candidate Jacob Tagger is publicly accusing state Rep. Michelle DuBois of trying to bribe him.
The allegations rose to a heated exchange between Tagger and DuBois last week on the social media page, the Brockton Hub. DuBois also holds the Ward 6 Council seat in Brockton.
Tagger – who lost in the Sept. 22 preliminary election to Mayor Bill Carpenter and challenger Chris MacMillan – claims that DuBois tried to bribe his family with a city job to get him to drop out of the mayoral race in early June.
“She said, ‘We’ll get your wife any job at City Hall that she wants.’ She didn’t say secretary, chief of staff. She said, ‘Any job,’” Tagger, 39, said. “I was standing there kind of shocked, and I was looking at her like, ‘Are you kidding me?’”
DuBois staunchly refuted his claims, both to The Enterprise and in posts on the Brockton Hub.

Not only is he accusing Michelle he's also accusing Sullivan who didn't need Tagger to be in or out.
But anyway, less than a month out. Still no Mayoral debates scheduled?

There is a button at the top of the screen that says "new topic."
This has nothing to do with the Mayoral Race as it is over for Mr. Tagger.
Please start new topics when the subject has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
Thank you

It's not a rule, just common sense to keep things organized.

The sad thing is that this happens everywhere with almost every politician. They have their "game day" political face which we see and then all the other stuff that happens in the background.

or maybe dubois did say it, who knows... defending herself as someone who has no say or control over who gets hired is a political cop-out... politics is all about favors, and she certainly could have explicitly- or otherwise implicitly- offered one had tagger ducked out of the race

Tagger should take a timeout and regroup. It hurts when you lose a Campaign but this public bitching isn't going to endear himself to anyone.
I agree with OS first paragraph and it's gotten so little traction on Social Media which proves no one really cares.

Is it a bribe, no.
I think this is Tagger self destructing. He thought he was going to win, and didn't, not he's striking out.
Stick a fork in him... He's done.

Not living in Brockton, I don't have an opinion either way about Tagger, but this is just my observation from afar.
You can't fix stupid.

Ok here is the only comment I will make regarding an endorsement, myself, my wife and another person went to Macmillan's party after the primary election night to show support and I was told that my support was welcomed but the support of 3 of the hardest working people on my team was not welcomed. Due to that fact I will not be supporting Macmillan. Ask them if I didn't volunteer to go door knocking on the next day but my supporters weren't welcomed.
It sounds like Tagger wanted to go door to door as "Tagger for McMillan" or get deeply involved in McMillan's campaign, on his specific terms.

Maybe McMillan should go public and say that Tagger extorted him by offering an endorsement if his choice people were put on the McMillan campaign.
