    The problems aren't yours. They're news side's and the editorial board's.

    If your paper makes endorsements in selectmen races, obviously they can't touch his.

    Where it gets murkier: suppose he has a signature issue. Can your paper run editorials on it?
    Does news coverage of this issue get shut down so as not to give the perception of favoritism?

    You don't want one of your hands tied (understandably). You may be tying theirs.
