As to Mike Ertel, my informatio is that a vengeful ex-wife put the picture out and set his resignation in motion.
A local Circuit Court Judge was running for reelection some year ago in my town. Thirty years prior, he and his bride took a nude polaroid of each other on their honeymoon. The marriage didn’t last long. She must have really carried a grudge as she gave her polaroid of him to the gentlemen running against her ex. It appeared on the cover of our newspaper the next day with a small black line over his privates. He was defeated.
