Big deal. Would it affect Larry's vote? I doubt it. If anything it would make him more determined. <BR/><BR/>It is disingenuous to pretend that Larry wasn't intensely involved in the Anti-Marina Center smear campaign that was waged - or that it was intensely personal because one of the anchors being proposed was a Best Buy. "Crusade" is a word that, of late has all kinds of PC police tags attached to it, what word would you prefer? Campaign?<BR/><BR/>The two people who had something to lose if Marina Center went in was Larry Glass and Pierson.<BR/><BR/>It's unfair to smear all the people who were at that event that night, and allege them to be liars.<BR/><BR/>Glazer may be a real PR person, but it isn't like Glass doesn't have his own "PR guys" - it's just a new breed, Salzman printing up his little Anti-Arkley stickers and running around town in the dark of night sticking them on parking meter, so that Larry could claim a "grass roots" wave of support is just one form of the guerilla PR tactics. "heraldo" may well be another. It's a new-age ballgame, and it isn't a game with alot of niceties.<BR/><BR/>I'd be mad if I was Arkley.

He stated that it's old news, but it sure sounds like it still bothers him. And I think it shows poor judgement to call Arkley "Bullyinare" and also criticize Mr. Glazier's abilities as a PR spokesman.<BR/><BR/>I wonder who is the "Prominent City Council person" was that Larry spoke of? My bet it that it was Connie Miller, who lost to Chris Kerrigan a few years back. She is very close with the Arkleys, and probably would be willing to stick up for them without being asked to do so. I could actually really see her defending the Arkley's without any remorse for Larry.<BR/><BR/>What bother me about the Glasier interview is that he was all over the map with accusations of Larry without much more evidence than the fact that stickers were handed out at Larry's business, and that he participated in GREG. Seems like every point me made centered on this personal vendetta against Arkley. Never did he really talk about what actually happened that night- Does that mean that there is something to hide?<BR/><BR/>Sure looks that way, especially if you need to hire a PR guy to make the argument.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25625654.post-43080879114748476672008-02-09T08:07:00.000-08:002008-02-09T08:07:00.000-08:00Now that the AG has determined that the evidence i...Now that the AG has determined that the evidence is insufficient to support charges being filed, it would appear that Mr. Gallegos should prosecute Mr. Glass for filing a false police report. That is, if he is true to the principles which led him to file the Palco suit. I am sure that Dr. Miller would agree that to allow Mr. Glass to escape without consequences would set a dangerous precedent - that anyone could say anything to the police with impunity!
