Windsor Star becomes an issue in the city's campaign for mayor

Windsor's only daily newspaper has become a major issue in the Oct. 25 election amid charges from the main challenger for the city's top job that the Windsor Star has a conflict of interest. The wife of its editorial page editor is chief of staff to two-term Mayor Eddie Francis, the front-runner. That wasn't widely known in the border city until this week, when mayoral candidate Rick Limoges, a former city councillor and Liberal MP, levied the charge and vowed to make a formal complaint to the Ontario Press Council.
