The Friends of Ben Akselrod sent the mailers last week, claiming that his opponent has allowed crime to go up over 50% in our negrohood so far this year.
Akselrod didnt specify Wednesday whether his campaign intended to use the word neighborhood instead.
He said he faced discrimination as a Jew in his native Russia, and rejects any form of racial and ethnic bias.
He also blasted his opponents supporters for focusing on the typo instead of addressing crime in the community.
