Well, you can tell its election time when some newspapers grope for reasons to convince their readers not to vote for someone.
In a very biased article, the Enterprise basically wrote a hit piece on Lora Petso and Diane Buckshnis for asking questions about our finances. The newspaper article questioned Diane's "credentials" to ask these questions.
Fortunately for Lora and Diane, the public wants candidates to ask questions about the city's finances. You really can't attack someone on this point.
This isn't the first time Diane has been in trouble for asking questions. As a bank regulator, she got some looks for asking some hard questions of an investor named Charles Keating. You know, the Keating 5. Yep, Diane's job was to fight bank corruption on the federal level and she served on the investigative team that brought down Charles Keating.
Recently, she was interviewed by Dick Gordon on this investigation. It's fun to listen to. (click here)
In my opinion, no candidate for city council is more qualified to examine city finances than Diane Buckshnis.
