Here are two of four anonymous e-mails sent out to voters by a supporter of first-term Mayor Sally Mackay in the past couple of weeks under the heading of "NSB new times," all of which attack the candidacy of mayoral candidate Adam Barringer, who won the primary and received all four available public endorsements in the 2009 campaign. Mackay denied any involvement in the e-mail campaign, but added they have merit and are actually humorous.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- The day after the Sept. 22 primary saw Zone 2 City Commissioner Jack Grasty as the outright victory in the Sept. 22 primary, runner-up candidate Palmer Wilson, a retired Maryland police lieutenant, offered congratulations to the incumbent and pledged to continue speaking up about ways to curb what he deems excessive municipal spending.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- The city's police union pledged its support for Adam Barringer over Mayor Sally Mackay, on top of the might he gained from the firefighters' union and the Southeast Volusia Board of Realtors while the incumbent continued to tout her experience and Marilee Walters appealed to disenfranchised voters to give her the nod in today's hotly-contested primary for mayor and two city commission seats.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Zone 1 City Commissioner Randy Richenberg knows that he has two powerful allies in today's primary that he is hoping will either carry him to outright victory or at least place in the top two for a November runoff -- the endorsements of the unions for the police and fire departments.
