Owen alleges Allen/Heiner deal :Complete, total Mayoral shenanigans ensue

Metro Council hypocrite Tom Owen has alleged Hal Heiner offered something in return for Tyler Allen's endorsement in the mayoral race, mirroring a damaging revelation uncovered by Leo Weekly that Jackie Green was offered a job in a Greg Fischer administration in return for dropping out of the closely contested election.

The backstabbing has begun, and no one knows how it will end. Just remember: As the camel falls to its knees, more knives are drawn.

On the surface, Owen's allegation seems cheap. Tyler Allen was not an active candidate upon endorsing Heiner unlike Jackie Green, who was running a full-throttle - if ineffective - campaign. I think that matters.

The most highly-anticipated race in Louisville has exploded into a full-blown scandal. Stay tuned....
