Vitteck Goes After Sonny Spossey

Vitteck Goes After Sonny Spossey

March 28, 2008

Pettit ally George Vitteck launched his newest assault against the City of Washington Mayor Sonny Spossey. Vitteck sent letters out removing Spossey from the local Democratic party leadership. Spossey, was an ally of Vitteck’s opponent for control of the party, Milan Marinkovich.

But Spossey made the doubly bad decision according to Vitteck supporters of actually working against former District Attorney John Petitt and supporting Prothonotary Phyllis Ranko Matheny.

Spossey even donated to the Steve Toprani campaign during the bi-partisan campaign to end the 24 year reign of John Pettit.

Vitteck is backed heavily by State Representative Jesse White who even employees Vitteck’s wife Judy. One Democrat recently told us “Jesse is all Vittecked up” referring to the close relationship between Vitteck and White.

Spossey is believed to be considering his legal choices in the wake of the actions by Vitteck. Most observers believe that Vitteck will likely lose any court battle with Spossey, but question whether it would be worth the expense to fight Vitteck.
