"We didn't want it to be mean or disparaging in any way," he said, "but something that's accurate and entertaining."
Those depicted in the cartoon, however, were not entertained. Floreen said she is proud to be part of a group that is a "can-do council," adding, "Wouldn't it be nice to have a substantive debate with actual facts" on transportation funding, affordable housing and land conservation.

Silverman, a candidate for county executive, said he has not visited the site. "I would prefer to have a discussion about the issues and not encourage the politics of personal destruction," he said. "I'm not going to get into [what is] nothing more than name-calling. It's disappointing."
