The paper doesn't print the original story AND notifies the police about the fishy tip they got and because the subject of the story got mad now everyone knows about her DUI and NOW the papers are looking into everyone else.

The cover up is always worse.

That's not really what it's all about.
I doubt the DUI and so on would have a ton of effect on voting. 
however using that info to block her restaurants ability to continue to serve Alcohol is the real issue.

This same paper did this:

Jared Smith, a lifelong Marion resident, said Monday that he supports the police raid. Smith accused the newspaper of ruining his wife’s day spa business opened only a year ago by digging into her past and discovering she had appeared nude in a magazine years before. That fact was repeated in the Record more than 20 times over a six-month period, Smith said.

So in a way, it seems they were borderline abusing their power. I see zero purpose (other that being malicious) why they reported the nude info so often but that's a separate issue.
