This wasn’t the first time Curt pulled a funny at a Forum (even though I think he was serious). At the Multi-Housing Forum he said he got rid of his rental property because renters are a ‘pain in the butt’.
Tonight at the Chamber forum (2nd Half of Forum) he decided to bag on the Argus and Facebook (several times) about how no one reads them anymore. Hey, who can blame him, we all know an Argus endorsement is a kiss of death, ask Daschle.
While I will defend Soehl that home deliveries of the dead tree version are way down, I’m guessing online readership is higher (especially when stories online show up almost 24-72 hours before they print).
As for Facebook, they can defend themselves, something they are busy at these days.
I got the feeling that in some weird way Curt was trying to defend the current council and mayor by killing the messenger.
I know that Curt wants to believe what his donors are telling him is the truth, but the corruption runs deep and it is real. As one other council candidate in the central district said tonight, Thor Bardon, unlike others running in this race he can’t be bought by donors.
I guess that would explain Curt’s Kool-Aid mustache. But you didn’t read it in the Argus.
If a candidate wants my attention, it’ll be billboards or mailings. Maybe some TV spots but not the Argus or Facebook. The Argus is still good for Obits but that’s about it. I’m not on Facebook. I don’t like giving myself away and suspect personal data is mined for naive prospects and suckers for customers. After this week, Facebook proved what I suspected is true.
Curt was involved with Huether in his first campaign for Mayor.
Curt has also been on an interview panel to select a department head for Huether.
I won’t vote for a Huether puppet.
