The arts are a wonderful thing. But crime is so much more fun to talk about. And who said the 11 mayoral candidates couldn’t take controversial stands?

Granted, that’s not much to go on as we continue to take entries for our mayoral prediction contest, but it has been a slow week in terms of separating the front-runners from the also rans. I don’t want to give away too much, but Ed Oakley has some support in the entries so far, as does Don Hill, Max Wells, and Tom Leppert. Which probably isn’t surprising. And to the woman who  sent two e-mails touting John Cappello, this is a contest, not the letters to the editor. Send entries to  mayor@advocatemag.com.
