They are the PLC candidates.

Also see my earlier post about Datar and Associates (aka Data Targeting, Inc/Orlando/Orracle), re: GOP/Realtors doing polling in Lawrence to craft messages for Hack, Bracciano and Amyx.

Here's the endorsement for Amyx, Hack and Bracciano who have pledged to support a progrowth (READ: MORE CATERING TO DEVELOPERS).

In past years I have worked on a task force to find labor friendly candidates for Local and State government. The Lawrence city commissioners will be elected in April. I have met with these candidates, they have pledged support for labor and progrowth in Lawrence. They have been endorsed by Lawrence Central Labor Council, and it's my intent to have them address the Northeast Kansas Building Trades at the February meeting. Our candidates for Lawrence City commission are Sue Hack, Mike Amyx, and Tom Bracciano. Last year the City of Lawrence issued 118 million in construction permits, the lowest total in a decade. It's imperative we put labor back in City Hall. I'm asking all 441 members and Building Trades members that reside in the City of Lawrence to vote in April and vote for your job.

Fraternally,
James E. Cottrell
Business Representative

It's imperative we put labor back in City Hall. Note they admit they once controlled city hall and they want it back.

I'm going through the campaign contributions for city/county elections for the past few cycles. I will have this information available by Sunday. I'm trying to show who is funding the real eco-terrorists, our local overdevelopers. Not surprisingly most of the non-PLC money is coming from developers, realtors, banks and insurance companies. PLC money is mostly the enivronmentalists, liberals, etc. (DU types).

I've also talked to the Lawrencian. It looks like they're going to do a story about what I'm finding, re: Datar & Associates and the city election.
