Bill Driscoll was a candidate for the Bradford Town Council in 1998. Vicky Varney thought many votes went to Emily Holst because "You're not going to be one to grind axes like Driscoll".HS3 Driscoll not only polled fewer votes than Emily, but fewer than Alton Tennant, the incumbant who was actually dead.HS6

Driscoll did not run again in 1999, "perhaps being outpolled by a dead man had something to do with it"HS24 He did continue to show up at meetings, usually to complain. He worked to discredit the council, squabbling about possible "violation of the Open Meetings Act"HS24 and supported Bill Levitsky in the mutual belief that the two of them were needed because the council were "all a bunch of yokels who don't know what we're doing"HS24

Lloyd Weber, the newspaper editor, considered him a "genuine idiot".HS6
