[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone been following them? I can’t say I’m a fan of anyone who stays completely anonymous and fires shots into local races. How is this legal? Looks like they have funding. Don’t they have to register as a PAC?[/quote]

How ironic that you're posting this anonymously. What's your PAC?

I'm not sure why you think they have "funding." It's a basic Wordpress site on a cheap web host. And a twitter account. [/quote]

It doesn’t look like Wordpress to me. They’re sending questionnaires to candidates. They look organized to me.

Clean Slate claims to be run by a single person using their own money. If true, the site does not need to file disclosures. That’s unlike the anti-Elrich site run by a number of Riemer supporters who are close to the development lobby. That site, which puts out a lot of misleading info about the CE, should be disclosing. [/quote]

What exactly is misleading about the anti-Elrich site?   Everything I read is true.   Now, things they point out may not be particularly important in some circumstances, but it's all true as far as I can tell. [/quote]

Some of the information is true. A lot of it is misleading. Sometimes the site lies by omission. That’s how disinformation works, and that site is a disinformation campaign.

For example: Would it change the perception of Elrich’s comments about renters if the site explained that Elrich made those statements during remarks on the importance of housing stability for renters? Elrich cares about people having stable housing, but that often involves renter protections that the developer crowd doesn’t like. Or would it change your perception of Elrich’s comments about people living closer to work if the site explained that Elrich was arguing against a second river crossing when he made them?

Also, as the PP said, the one lie that runs throughout the site is that the CE sets land use policy. That’s actually the council. If you don’t like land use or don’t think there’s enough housing, blame sitting councilmembers. [/quote]
