Council Election Question of the Day
Newsdesk goes there.

How many anti-Randi Shade blog posts will Burnt Orange Report promote without the disclaimer that BOR big cheese Matt Glazer is working for Jennifer Kim's campaign?
Seriously, regarding Place 3, their credibility is a notch below Austin Political Report.
UPDATE: BOR now has a counterpoint up by Phillip Martin called "Why I Agree With Randi Shade on Barton Springs." Doesn't quite make up for the Glazer-penned, disclaimer-free "Randi Shade Gets A Little Help from Her Toll Road Friends," but it's a start.
UPDATE REDUX: In fairness, Glazer has pointed out to Newsdesk his anti-Shade post was penned approximately two-weeks prior to joining the Kim campaign – so make of that what you will. But in the future, Glazer and BOR might want to draw these lines more distinctly.
