Filed Wednesday, August 2, 2006 at 12:00 PM

It’s hot all over, but it might be getting even hotter in the 60th State Rep District. Jamilah Nasheed’s campaign today mailed out a piece that asks voters if they want to go “backwards” or move “forward.” The mailer slams Nasheed’s opponent, Sharon Tyus, on her record as the former alderman of the 20th Ward.

“Improved her home and block while the rest of the ward decayed,” Nasheed’s piece charges. “Refused to join the Aldermanic Black Caucus,” “Fought against the city’s first black mayor,” and “Arrogant to the core,” it says.
