Oftentimes we learn of our elected officials skeletons well after they have been taken out of the closet, dusted off and billed for many an escort service’s “services.” But with the access the unforgiving Internet now gives us into one another’s lives, is it fair to proactively go looking for those skeletons when it comes to campaigning candidates?
We hear about corporations doing this all the time with potential hires, and we are often warned to keep our “google-able” assets in order. So, in my opinion, it would make perfect sense that we would vet all of our local candidates as much as possible. And honestly, as much as they have allowed us to.
