What the F, Forma?

So wannabe-State Representative Claudia Ordaz Perez is in the news again because new ethics complaints filed against her.

Okay.

But what I did not get is why is Perez having her attorney speak to the press? 

If these things are political in nature, why bother having an attorney address what is a political matter? 

A simple statement would have sufficed.

But no.

Whether it was her consultants, Forma Group or Jaime Abeytia, or her husband, or maybe herself, someone thought having the attorney talk to the press was the way to go. 

Now, people be like, "Why she hire an attorney?" 

Granted, probably hiring an attorney is a smart move, but it is a move no one really needs to know about.  

Rightly or wrongly, everybody is like, "Perez lawyer-ed-up."

This move got me thinking about Forma's other client...Dee Margo.

Dee MIGHT still have a shot of making it into the run-off. 

But instead of having slick internet ads being produced, Forma appears to be hiring campaign interns on Margo's facebook page. 

Your main opponent is sponsoring parades, while you brag about intern hires. 

What is going on over at Forma-landia?

Interesting post Max, I heard a rumor that Dee is no longer using FORMA. Can anyone confirm?

Claudia is going to win. She was smart to use an attorney. It is so clear that Aaron Montes is not going to give her a fair story. Even a blind man can see that he has it out for her. He needs to go back to journalism school.

HD76,

If she were THAT smart, she probably would have ran some of these things by an attorney prior to acting on them. It just sounds like no one is giving her an good advice over there.

Love,

Max

Talk about good advice...Dee needs to start taking some. He has pre-schoolers running his campaign. Sorry, but champagne receptions and tea time affairs aren't going to win you a re-election. His campaign staff is worthless. They don't answer calls, never return emails. I have been trying for weeks to get him to speak to our organization. I gave up. Gallinar is a better choice.

HD 76 race according to Aaron Montes:

Breaking News: A cockroach issued a press release written in chalk accusing Claudia Ordaz Perez of larceny, assault and more ethics complaints. The cockroach mumbled a statement that Ordaz Perez is a horrible human being and should be punished with jail time and millions of dollars in fines. Also, she should be publicly shamed and humiliated without any due process. We reached out to everyone that hates Ordaz and their comments are listed on the next 5 pages.
However, her opponent is endorsed by the Pope, President Obama, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Walter Mercado. She is the glowing representation of the womanhood, a state representative, a Chicana, a Juarenia. In fact, the Pope is considering her for sainthood while she is still alive and despite the fact she believes in abortion. That is how wonderful she really is. She is so wonderful that even cockroaches adore her. Please send all negative information about Ordaz Perez to my personal email or to personal cell immediately, I will post it without blinking twice.

HILARIOUS Real Austin Journalist! I don't read anything Aaron Montes writes. He is not that good at reporting.

The problem with Margo is that he still thinks he is CEO of a private company and therefore doesn't have to communicate with anyone he deems beneath him. He needs to put on some tennis shoes and start knocking on doors and getting some feedback from the citizens.

Tama-NO
Not my vote
Not a chance

Trisha Encinas está dirigiendo la campaña de Dee. Es una niña que ayudó en la campaña de Samaniego. Es una empleada de campaña poco cualificada que habla mal de los que la han contratado antes. No estaría donde está sin traicionar a todos con los que ha trabajado.

M,

She's already got more than enough votes to win it.

Love,

Max

[F Max]

I agree Max. Claudia is taking it 46%

[FU Max]

Claudia 45% Tamayo 55%

[Voter 2]

Voter! Agreed. Dee needs to start hitting the ground, voters are engaged and they are ready for their leaders to engage them. He has done well but his distance is going to kill him in this race.

[Voter3]

Voter and Voter2. Dee needs to let his wife run. She would do a better job. Dee would be nothing without her father anyway.

[shame on margo]

Voter 3, you so right. Judging from today, he dont even have a handle on his council. he better ask the pre-schoolers running his office what he do next.

Please have someone ask Claudia two last names why she is willing to take a pay cut. Will her personal income increase in Austin,TX? I bet my golf clubs her income has, and will increase.
