"The candidates in the March 27 election are Phil Capitano, mayor from 2004 to 2006, and Mike Yenni, nephew of Michael J. Yenni and until recently chief administrative officer to incumbent Mayor Ed Muniz. He was born Michael Maunoir but adopted his mother's maiden name in 1998 after his parents divorced".
The above as reported by the TP. How is it that, Ms. Yenni now makes an issue when indeed this name change took place 12 years ago? Should we believe she did not know or simply, for personal reasons or for political reasons, decided to jump into this matter now?
In the end the choice should not be based on a person's name, but on a host of more solid demonstrated abilities and qualifications.
I do hope voters choose to vote for their preferred candidate not based on their name but, based on their perception of who may be best for Kenner.
