Mayor Doug French and Councilman Joe Sack went head to head at Wednesday night's city council meeting. The Rye City Ethics Board recently responded to the request for review from Deputy Mayor Peter Jovanovich, concluding French did not solicit preferential treatment related to a rental property he owns. Instead of settling the matter as Jovanovich requested, the review did little to silence the mayor's critics or French himself. Eventually, Mayor French openly collided with Councilman Sack from the council dais.

Let's look at the appropriateness of this post. First, it's clearly an ad because it points to a…Read More specific insurance agent at a specific agency to contact. Second, it attempts to hide being an ad behind what may be useful information (or not). Third, the "person" who posted it doesn't use their real name. Instead, they use a pseudonym Divorce Information NOW. That doesn’t seem terribly reassuring to me.
This the third advertising post on the “announcements” space since Rye Patch converted to the new site layout. Seems a bit of a mess to me. But hopefully someone will come along and figure out who the real poster is, their link to the advertised agent and agency, and then delete the post. After all, if it’s an ad, it should be labeled as such and the poster should pay for having it run. If that doesn’t happen, Patch won’t be able to pay its employees to keep real content on the site.
