Dee Margo - Is It Over?

It appears your Mayor, Dee Margo, is in bad shape. 

Put aside the fact his opponent just had a Thanksgiving parade named after himself. 

Apparently from what some have told me, Margo was hospitalized recently.  

Not sure if it was in the news or not, not that I can find anything myself, but that does not bode well for Margo. 

Unless, Margo clears the air what he was hospitalized for....maybe it was a paper cut or maybe he stubbed his toe.

But let us be honest, he does not look like the kinda of guy that takes care of himself.

If had Margo money I would be spending money on TRT and HGH, but God knows what he is throwing his money on.

Anyways.

If he is in poor health, at his age, are you sure you can count on him to run a race that is a year-out?

It would be one thing if the election where a month away, but it is not.  

Couple that with the people Margo has surrounded himself with. 

Cisman David K likes to point out how Oscar Leeser has surrounded himself with some rather problematic individuals.

Well, Margo too has surrounded himself with folks that do him no favors..from what several folks have told me.

Apparently his lead staffer at the City and his campaign staff are seen as an arrogant and clueless, respectively. 

So you have a Mayor  with health issues, who has city staffer on an ego trip rubbing everyone the wrong way at City Hall, and a campaign person who is just happy to take paycheck running his campaign running for re-election.

Meanwhile, a rested Oscar Leeser just got a parade named after him.  

I just do not see how Margo does it.  

Again, Margo would need to clear the air on his health.  

Assuming it is something he can manage, well, he still has the issue of his own hires. 

Quite frankly, I would not be surprised if Margo is NOT on the ballot next year.

If money guys in El Paso are really nervous about a Mayor Leeser, well, time to pony-up some cash for a "Mica for El Paso" campaign. 

Otherwise, this race is Oscar's to lose...if there is race at all.

You hit the nail on the head. It’s dreadful to work with the little tyrant from his office. Dreadful.

[RE-elect Dee]

The Mayor had hip replacement surgery. Very common surgery for those in their 50s, 60s. He played football in HS and college. Leeser paid money to have a parade named after him. Paid money. Think about that. Leeser’s former COS was accused of being a pain to deal with which affected her ability to get a job when his term was over. Cook had Sylvia Firth as an advisor and that propelled her into city attorney job which caused several really good assistant city attorneys to leave. And ultimately she resigned because of conflicts of interest.

Dee Margo ran a very successful business and expected top performance out of his employees. Unfortunately, when you become Mayor of a City the government employees do not like having a successful business person as Mayor. Because successful business people get very frustrated with the slow pace of government employees and the system. All of us do. We can’t operate that way in private sector. We would be out of a job or lose a client.

Oscar is a successful business person but his leadership style is based on getting people to “buy the car”. And we all know how we feel after the car buying experience-somehow we got cheated.

If Dee played at Vandy Im sorry, but that's not really football. He inherited his father in law's business is another. His wife on the other hand, would make a great Mayor. There is nothing wrong with Leesor. He just didnt let Hunt and Foster have their way when he was mayor while Dee let Hunt get incentives on the new bank that Foster basically owns. Dee allowed corporate welfare where it wasnt deserved.

Foster isn't a partner in the WestStar Tower. It's Hunt and WestStar. Foster just bought all the Borderplex Realty property - he has his own high rise buildings now.

FOSTER IS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND HAS SHARES OF WESTAR.
