<<DAYTON — Lori Turner, wife of U.S. Rep. Mike Turner, withdrew her marketing firm from a regional branding campaign sponsored by the Dayton Development Coalition on Tuesday, Feb. 19, saying articles in the Dayton Daily News about her $300,000-plus no-bid contract have caused a "distraction" that is harming the campaign.

"During the past several weeks, the Dayton Daily News has knowingly and publicly misrepresented my involvement in the Dayton Development Coalition community branding process," she wrote to the co-chairs of the branding effort, Daily News Publisher Doug Franklin and retired Berry Co. Chairman Pete Luongo. ...

Franklin said: "I think everybody involved has been well-intentioned to advance the Dayton region. And while everything was done aboveboard, I think people have to understand there was a perception — and I emphasize perception — of conflict."<<

1. What were they thinking?

Even if hiring The Turner Effect was above board, it smacks of impropriety and it stinks.

We need to get rid of BOTH the Turners.

3. It's not that you attacked, it's how.

Your approach made the attack the focus, so made the message ineffective.
