This may come as a surprise to some, but I have made my share of mistakes.
In life, you can always right a wrong.
In politics, maybe.
In politics your past, or present, mistakes may or may not cost you.
Get shitfaced and drive onto oncoming traffic?
If you are, Beto, you get a pass.
Do an interview say something slightly off?
If you are Julian Castro, you get Hatch Act'ed.
The rules of how mistakes are judged are not made by me.
So with that in mind, let us talk about Veronica Frescas's mistakes or "mistakes".
Again, no indictment of her as person. People deserve second chances.
But since we are talking about elected office, people try to convince themselves they are voting for Jesus. Well, may be not in this situation. In this situation it is more like Moses. But I digress.
So what has Ms. Frescas done?
Well, it appears that a brother of local area judge sued Ms. Frescas a few years ago: Download Frescas v Strathmann
Then there is the issue of a foreclosure: Download Foreclosure
The argument can be made that if Frescas cannot keep her own house in order, literally and figuratively speaking, she probably should not be legislation or spending your money.
Other hand, Frescas can say something like, "Like most El Pasoans, I was not born with silver spoon in my mouth. But what I am going to do is get those spoons and melt them make up for all the tips I did not make in the past. Social justice. Bitches." Or something like that. I do not know what she really wants to do with other people's money.
But there you have it.
I report, you decide.
Or maybe you have already decided.
Whatever.
It is your damn funeral.
Pick your own damn pallbearer.
If Peter can stop talking about the street car for than 5 minutes, I will vote for him. Veronica seems to be outworking him and she definitely has more guts than I have seen in a while, she attacked Peter almost immediately. This should be interesting if the foreclosure information gets out beyond this bullshit blog.

His claim to fame is that he managed to hide his bigotry for so long. As they say "what you whisper today will be shouted from the rooftops tomorrow.

Better to go with the devil you know. Word is Veronica is managed by Lily Limon. Do we really want that disruptive influence on city council again? Will Veronica hire Lily as her legislative aid if she wins?
Peter has done good things for D1 if you ignore his whole trolley obsession. Vote for Peter.
