Councilor Yoon Used Pictures of Honan and McDermott Without Permission

The Boston Herald reports that State Representative Kevin Honan and A-B District City Councilor Jerry McDermott are annoyed because At-Large City Councilor Sam Yoon has used their images in a campaign flyer without their permission:

A friendly campaign flier sent out by City Councilor Sam Yoon has ruffled a few pols’ feathers.
Yoon sent out an invitation recently for a campaign kickoff event being held at the Green Briar in Brighton this week that included pictures of soon-to-be ex-Councilor Jerry McDermott and state Rep. Kevin Honan (D-Allston). City Hall insiders say neither Honan nor McDermott gave Yoon permission to use their pictures on the flier.

Here is a scan of the flyer:


Yes, Councilor Yoon should get permission before using somebody's picture in campaign literature. But note that the flyer doesn't claim endorsements by either of them -- instead, it invites you to join Representative Honan and Councilor McDermott at the event. I assume Yoon's guys confirmed the attendance of Honan and McDermott before printing up the flyer, but it now sounds like their attendance is in question... Oops.
