SaintPaulicy notes a new campaign teeing up in Saint Paul:

While campaign staffs in wards across the city work hard to get to Election Day – another race is quietly taking shape and there is already one candidate in the contest.

SPicy has learned that a very prominent Saint Paul leader has apparently decided to be the first to challenge Chris Coleman.

No, fellow SPicy readers – it’s not Tim Marx. It’s none other than William “Corky” Finney.

Finney has apparently made the decision to run for Mayor – before the “current occupant” hits the half way point.

What would make a one-time-supporter of Chris Coleman break ranks?

SPicy is on the case – and remember – you read it here first.

Finney – Saint Paul’s former police chief and a DFLer with immense political capital – would make this next mayoral race a very interesting one.
