Angela Giron seems to have hired protesters in an attempt to sabotage the recall effort against her.

Thirdpower has video of the events including footage of a heavy-set fifty-something fellow paying the protesters.

Pueblo isn't that big a town. Anybody recognize this fellow?

Does he look like this fellow?

Steve Nowracki, President of Pueblo City Council. Could be I suppose.

Update: Quite a few people have fingered Mr. Nowracki, but he denies any connection at all and those who have interviewed him seem to believe him. Must be his evil twin brother. I have one of those.

Update #2: The mystery man has been ID'd as Gerald Rosenblatt, a local Dem supporter who says he was giving out $20 bills to the Giron people in an act of spontaneous altruism not directly connected to the Giron effort to suppress dissent.
