The pig sty that is Angie's List does work the vendor base relentlessly and that is a proved fact.<br /><br />With all the above said, I truly do hope that Adamson's rejuvenated business is successful and that the fairly recently empty rented stylist chairs and empty waiting area because full again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-30930425042398805962015-01-28T07:05:05.603-05:002015-01-28T07:05:05.603-05:00I'll lay odds that Angie's List has employ...I'll lay odds that Angie's List has employees writing positive reviews of Mr. Adamson's hair salon business. If you don't buy into their racket, their employees trash your business online at their site until you pay protection money to them. As far as I'm concerned, Angie's List is just a high tech version of a neighborhood mob racket shaking down local business owners for protection money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-91636707479845811272015-01-27T13:17:12.829-05:002015-01-27T13:17:12.829-05:00What is so shocking that Councilors would vote aga...What is so shocking that Councilors would vote against a tide of public sentiment disapproving this bill?<br /><br />And look at who supports the fat cat moneybags on this issue! Democrats like Moriarty Adams, Robinson, Zach Adamson, and Osili long ago proved long ago they are no different from any other professional politician backing corporate-sponsored bills that could well result in large campaign "donations". <br /><br />I agree it's time for neighborhood leaders to wake up and start drafting their own candidates to run for the council in the respective primaries because the Democrat and Republican machines sure do seem to be offering the voters nothing but candidates who are stooges for the wealthy interests.

The only supporters were three out of state ad companies.

Will Gooden did not file for slating. The only Republican candidate in District 2 is Colleen Fanning. Christine Scales didn't file for slating, but she filed with the board of elections to run against the party-backed candidate, Tim Craft, who was drafted to move into her district to take her out because she puts her constituents ahead of the corrupt machinations of the party's campaign contributors.

Both Adamson and Osili face no opposition currently. Robinson has "moved" to Angela Mansfield's district to run against her in the primary, and the lobbyists for the billboard companies are pumping large campaign contributions into his race. Gary R.

All the At-Large's are going into contested primaries, either because their positions were eliminated by the legislature, or because of redistricting. Gooden is set up to be opposed by Tew, who took Adamson's At-Large when he moved to safer ground. If you noticed, they were asked who had received contributions from the industry, and there was a brief show of hands (probably not all responded) before the question was withdrawn. Postponing the vote till April means contributions will flow through the primaries. There's still, unfortunately, time to get it wrapped up and before the full Council, before November.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-41166693795794323692015-01-26T23:36:02.684-05:002015-01-26T23:36:02.684-05:00Good read for Gary:
