After reading Bud Harrison's comments in an article in one of our local newspapers, following Terry Nagel's ousting of Mary Janney from City Council, I am confused.
Harrison stated that this was the dirtiest campaign? and the only thing that they (the challengers) could do was attack and create negativism.? But, a recent article entitled Burlingame Candidates Need Training in Campaign Tactics,? questioned Coffey and Janney's dirty politics? and their flyer which promoted information that was false.? The final paragraph of the article states that politics is a dirty sport? and Burlingame shouldn't be sullied by those willing to run a smear campaign.?
I know that Halloween is over, but it seems that some of those presently in City Hall and their pals have been painting their faces green and stirring up the pot for many months. Harrison states that the election of Nagel will come down on the shoulders of the present vice mayor.? I remain confused, Mr. Harrison. Who is doing the attacking and creating negativism?

  1. I sent Buddy boy a copy of Michelle’s article thinking perhaps he hadn’t seen it. Also I listed some of the “clean campaigning” his pals had resorted to. Perhaps someone in this town should be doing some laundry!

  2. Fiona, you are wasting your time and stamps. Adolph “Bud” Harrison is clueless and will remain so as he lives out his days in a little cocoon. The real question is why does anyone, including news reporters, care what Harrison thinks? One might as well stop at an outside table at Alana’s or Peet’s and ask a random person for his or her opinion…the response would be at least as informed and probably more truthful.

  3. You are right, Joe about getting a more intelligent response from local hangouts but Buddy gets quoted in the newspaper, slams Rosalie and blames the challengers for dirty campaigning. Maybe the average Joe (sorry Joe!) doesn’t know that these quotes are not only misleading but egregious lies. I just feel that sometimes these people should be reminded that their noses are getting longer and longer by the quote! Now that could be a cartoon, Russ!

  4. Why doesn’t Adolph take that Buddy Mobile on a loooooong road trip to Florida.
