Now who could have seen this coming? DiCiccio stands to gain from freeway through Ahwatukee.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Sarah Fenske. Sarah, I want to have your babies. I mean that in all sincerity. Phoenix City Councilman Sal DiCiccio has promised to be a “forceful voice” in the ongoing controversy over the proposed extension of the Loop 202 freeway. But DiCiccio should think twice about opening his mouth [...]
With all due respect to Dr. Krugman, I think he’s missing the local angle.
Per Krugman’s NYT piece today: There’s no mystery about what’s going on: education is mainly the responsibility of state and local governments, which are in dire fiscal straits. Adequate federal aid could have made a big difference. But while some aid has been provided, it has made up only a fraction of the shortfall. In [...]
He lies and he’s betrayed you before but give him a chance.
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, as the TV shrink tells us. I was reminded of that when I read the AZ Republic Phoenix City Council endorsement. He vowed to complete the four-year term, explicitly ruling out a run for mayor in 2011. The last time that Sal was an elected City [...]
Anti-labor hysteria rears its ugly head in Phoenix Council race.
While much of the gasping and clutching of pearls by Sal DiCiccio’s online fans is transparently disingenuous, the most obvious problem they have with Dana Kennedy is that she works for the AFL-CIO. I’ve come to the conclusion that the fervor to which some anti-union people cling to their hatred of organized labor and anything [...]
Oh now I get what this Vegas thing is about.
When a commenter told me that Sal DiCiccio’s robocall was accusing Dana Kennedy of having ominous-sounding “Las Vegas connections” it left me scratching my head. I was like, what, did Jason Rose do a focus group and find out that Vegas has more negative connotations than even Gay Francisco? As it turns out, conservative bloggers [...]
The Passion Of The DiCiccio
I hear that folks in Phoenix City Council District 6 have been getting robocalls from Sal DiCiccio complaining that he’s being “smeared”. First of all, having been the recipient of Sal’s automated dialer largesse a few times during the primary race I wonder what happened to my call. Where’s the love, Sal? So I’m forced [...]
Sal’s a weirdo but we like him because we’re weirdos too.
We like much about Sal DiCiccio. We recommended him in his race for the Phoenix City Council in District 6. He works hard. He’s a smart guy who has been around the political block. But, with Sal, one takes the odd with the good. DiCiccio, who takes pride in his straight-talker reputation, claims a “third [...]
