I agree in part if there was someone else that got arrested with him maybe the drugs were the other persons. But if it was just him there would be no getting around the drugs except for having a good laywer / connections. See page two of the docket at the list of charges.

It's easy to throw a bunch of stuff out there about someone--and hope something will stick. This drug information is interesting. I'm wondering what happened? Why the dismissal? Could it be unfounded? Or maybe dismissed due to lack of evidence?

I've been reading the blogs for the last couple of years, and I know Tony Payton blogs. (especially on YPP) I would like to hear Mr. Payton's explanation to these drug charges AND also to Blair Talmadge's recent response that Mr. Payton used him as the scapegoat/patsy in Payton's petition scandal.

As an elected official, I believe Mr. Payton should respond to these charges/accusations. As a voter, I would like to hear what he has to say.

Boy are you hatchet jobs BClark and Laurieparrish.

News flash to you geniuses who post this garbage-the forgeries were committed by the person who circulated the petitions, not the candidate whose petitions were circulated. Seems a judge agrees with me on this-ergo he is still on the ballot.

A couple of points about the MC records...is this Tony Payton the State Rep? There are many Tony Paytons out there.

If it was Tony-note that the case was dismissed and that Seamus McCaffery was a pro-police, pro-prosecution judge-and Tony wasn't even thinking of running for office in 2002-so if it was him and he was acquitted, the case against must have been a joke.

And another news flash for the genius who posted that it was a plea bargain...if it was a plea bargain, he would have admitted guilt to a lesser charge. There would be a conviction if it was a plea bargain.

The people who post this kind of stuff are the dregs of politics these days...and represent the worst of what politics has to offer. No wonder many good people refrain from seeking higher office when the likes of BClark and laurieparrish are out there.

And your proof of this is where? Watch it GOP33-do not confuse allegations of his political opponent with proof and/or truth.
I looked into this-and while Tony was the circulator of two petitions which were tossed, the petitions were tossed for a host of reasons-i.e. wrong addresses, republican signatures, independents, unregistered voters, etc.
You can't call him guilty of forgery when you don't know if he actually signed someone else's name. Since the Court didn't find Tony Payton a forgerer-stop saying so on this blog-this is the kind of stuff lawsuits are made of.

Just because the Judge was affraid to call it forgery does not not mean it was not the challenge I think was for the stuff you list because he withdrew those petition before it got to the Judge. The AG will be the one to decide to bring charges. Only a Idiot would think those petition were not forged it is plan as day the same person did them ALL. In my eyes as well as other he signed as the circulator on those petitions so he must be the forger. After all he swore to a notary that he went and got everyone of those people to sign it.

New Flash Where do you get your news from he withdrew those petitions before it got to the Judge.

I would be very curious if the AG presses charges on the bad sheets that Payton stupidly signed to. He would have to press charges on Larry Farnese's circulators and Tommy Blackwell's as well.

I know a lot of people have promised to contact the AG, but has the AG actually promised to investigate anyone yet?

Ahh-I see. So you, with your infinite all-seeing x-ray goggles will determine on your own, and with no direct knowledge, that the petitions that were withdrawn before they went to the judge were circulated by Tony himself AND contained forgeries?
And you of course know more about this then the judge, who had first hand and direct knowledge of the evidence and a handwriting expert to guide him/her and who found otherwise?
And I guess you believe the moon landing was staged to huh?
Let me wake you up to a little bit of fact that you and your fellow hatchet jobs seem oblivious to.
Petition circulators wait until the very last days to give their petitions to the candidate-giving them to the candidate the day before, or the day that they are due- so the candidate and his campaign staff have very little time to review them for accuracy. So when you have over 1400 signatures to review in a few hours, mistakes and forgeries are easily missed.
Forgery-no. Sloppy-yes.
Calling a public figure a forgerer when you don't know it for sure-libel/slander.
