Morrison’s Mudslinging

Though we haven’t seen any real polling in a while, we assumed that Laura Morrison was leading going into the runoff against El Cid.

Her consultants must be seeing something in the numbers that they don’t like, because we saw our first piece of negative advertising today.

It is a big foldout with the words “Conflict of interest” written all over it. It is otherwise light on substance and long on innuendo.  Apparently, because Cid Galindo makes his living developing planned communities, it is a conflict of interest in the eyes of the Morrison campaign.

That may be true. Putting anyone with “planning” experience on council might very well be a conflict of interest.

  3. A councilmember with planning experience would be a novelty, I admit.

  4. We got a push poll from Morrison at our house a few weeks before the first election. Stuff like “did you KNOW Cid Galindo voted in the 2004(?) Republican primary? (wait for shocked gasp)”

  5. Morrison and her campaign team can hardly walk around town since their sense of entitlement is so heavy.

  6. No one has yet shown that Galindo has ever planned anything his daddy didn’t own. His “urban planner” disguise is as phony his lying mailers.

    Laura Morrison is a disaster management consultant. If there was ever a disaster that needed management, it’s Austin City Hall.

  7. Has anybody ever shown a disaster that Laura Morrison managed?

    Well, she managed to burn up OWANA’s hard-earned political capital by stupidly opposing 7Rio and Spring (against the wishes of the actual neighborhood they were _in_). That was a disaster, and she managed to do it, so I withdraw my question.

  8. so is cid married to the woman holding his daughter in the “family” picture posted on his website? context would argue that’s what is intended, but I note no names associated with the picture and am told that cid paid the woman to pose for the picture.

    nice touch!

    I have no idea why he’d do that.
