Call it unpopular, or misguided.

He is always giving his opinion from on high, as though we all should be astounded by his musings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970352414722890324.post-33160101561750843692013-05-06T22:21:49.575-05:002013-05-06T22:21:49.575-05:00There are more than three.

Sounds like every election in the country to me. Not to mention, the three developers aren't even in the coalition. I guess Laura just isn't supposed to get money from anyone.

He does not have a "rah, rah, always support the official city position" attitude, nor does he follow a "City officials and anything touched by the Coalition is evil and misguided" attitude. He is an independent voice and to reject him outright is a rejection of reason and civil debate.<br /><br />Really . . . a public voice doesn't matter unless that person has held office or been on a board or commission? Think about what that means re the small clique of constant critics of City of Richardson.<br /><br />JM (not Bill, not John - just JM)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970352414722890324.post-15312852485758445512013-05-06T00:43:49.386-05:002013-05-06T00:43:49.386-05:00I guess that this isn't the right spot for thi...I guess that this isn't the right spot for this question, but I'll ask it anyway. Just who is Mark Steger anyway? Read an article by a reporter that linked to this Steger's blog. I can't seee why his opinion should really matter. Has he held any office in Richardson, or been on any Boards or Commissions? Seems to me that he is just an ordinary citizen with no qualifications for being an expert on Richardson politics. I read some of his posts, and they certainly are not brilliant, and often make little sense. Just asking why we should even care about what he thinks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6970352414722890324.post-60151896462415454552013-05-05T22:03:53.276-05:002013-05-05T22:03:53.276-05:00Look at Laura's campaign finance report.

All of that smooth talking she was not with the Coalition appears to be a lie. It is one thing to talk it, but the report removes all doubt.
