The City Council has approved a $160,000 contract with Ash Ahmad and Kate Stoodley, flunkies from what I would call old school Fourth Estate and pr, dba Comment Ground, to help Jim Keene, our city manager, Claudia Keith, our media guru or something — spin doctress — and Lt. Zach Perron learn to tweet more efwectively.
What, Daffy Duck not afwailable? Suffering sucker-stash!
This is actual content generated by our public servants:
Ducks (they like the storm):
Deer (they like the storm, too):
I want transparency in city leadership, not layers of spin and consultants.
The public sector should not be generating content. Leave that to us wags. Ok-way?
(Or call me and let me hire $160,000 worth of better musicians to play our Twilight and Brown Bag series — for those numbers we could get Matt Nathanson, and maybe Elvin Bishop. For the social media lessons, I would rather hire a Jordan or Terman kid for $16/hr…and there’s more: the electronic version of the staff report does not even let us open on to “Exhibit C” where the slickees/flunkees from SF supposedly reveal their hourly rates…Blame Khash Alaee or Chris Anastole of Staff and your favorite “New Residentialist” council-member)
