But Cibrian, who collected a few developer contributions of her own as well as the endorsements of businessman B.J. “Red” McCombs and Valero Energy Corp.’s political action committee, ran an aggressive grass-roots campaign that relied heavily on door-knocking. She also turned heads waving signs [...]

Well, I got what I expect to be the last campaign flier from Morris Stribling in the mail today. What can I say, things don’t look good for him. The flier doesn’t mention his opponent by name or otherwise even once. Not even “my opponent.” No accusations of “dirty politics.” No misleading titles or [...]

Cibrian — a Corpus Christi native and public affairs consultant whose former clients include Moores Cafeteria Services and STC Construction
A public affairs consultant? You know what that is, don’t you? That’s someone who helps businesses compete for government contracts. I don’t know what she has done for STC Construction lately given that [...]

Looks like Diane Cibrian has finally found the key to getting people to vote for her in the run-off election–fear of poor people! Check out her latest campaign flier, I was so disgusted with it that I actually took the time to scan it in for all to admire.

The latest fliers from the candidates in the run-off for district 8 arrived today and it looks like the serious mud slinging has begun.
Cibrian’s is an 8×11 piece with a picture of a clear-cut area of what I assume to be a development, maybe the one that generated all the controversy over by 281. [...]

In District 8, Cibrian, who owns a small consulting business
Shouldn’t that be “former” owner? Or do you get to claim that you’re a small business owner whether you have any business or not? Tell you what, Diane, just name your current business and a give a vague description of some of your [...]

MySA.com: Ken Rodriguez
Clarification: On Wednesday, I reported that the city sued Stribling in 2003 for allowing a historic structure on his property to erode. I also reported that Stribling made the requested repairs. Implied — but not clearly stated — was that the city did not pursue the suit after Stribling began making repairs. The [...]

If you’re counting on the Express-News to report on the campaign issues concerning District 8–forget it. Now they do have some columnists who seem quite willing to follow-up on issues contributing to mud-slinging if someone provides them with with information. How depressing.

Overcoming a front-runner is tough enough. But try doing it when you’ve made property taxes a central issue, and you’ve been sued for taxes owed.
Let’s see, it’s somebody who has been sued for taxes owed and who has made property taxes a central issue? [...]
