Candidates clash over recent mailers
Morthland accuses Smiddy of ‘sleazy attacks’ in pieces
STERLING – State Rep. Rich Morthland, R-Cordova, is accusing his opponent of lying in recent mailers.
Mike Smiddy, D-Hillsdale, has been sending the pieces throughout the 71st House District, which includes most of Whiteside County. They are facing off in Tuesday’s election.
In the mailers, Smiddy calls himself blue collar and independent, but paints his opponent as someone whose votes benefit himself at the expense of middle-class families.
