Milton Street, the mayor’s indicted brother, says he’s going to court to have Congressman Bob Brady tossed off the mayoral primary ballot because Brady failed to list some income when he filed to run this week.
Brady says he forgot to list his city pension as income when he filed his nominating petitions on Tuesday. His campaign spokesperson, Kate Phillips, says it was a simple oversight which has since been corrected:
“Ultimately this will all just become a blip in Bob’s candidacy.”
Not so fast. None other than Milton Street (left photo) says he will go to court to challenge Brady’s right to be on the ballot.
Street says his effort will test whether city judges are beholden to Brady (right photo) as head of the Democratic party:
“We’re going to challenge it, and we’re going to see if the courts are going to rule across-the-board for everybody, or if they’re going to make exceptions for the chairman of the Democratic City Committee.”
Brady’s spokesperson says Milton Street’s claim that judges would favor Brady is “absurd.”
