Philadelphia Inquirer | Katz may have ally in carpenters' union: "'The carpenters have significant resources, and they have used them to penetrate the Republican political structure,' Burrell said.
Others privately go so far as to suggest the Republicans encouraged the carpenters to blow the deal. In making their case, Democrats point to the carpenters' hiring of public relations executive Brian Tierney - Katz's campaign chairman - as the talks with Street were deteriorating.
Electricians chief John Dougherty, also treasurer of the Philadelphia Democratic Party, is suspicious. 'I believe it's a very awkward spot to be in, and some people would say disingenuous,' he said.
'That's crap,' Tierney said of Street forces' contention that he helped Coryell to hurt the mayor. 'It's revisionist history.' He said he began working with the carpenters at the request of U.S. Rep. Bob Brady (D., Pa.), months before he joined the Katz campaign."------------------------------------------- posted 2:21 PM :: reference link ::
