Harrison vs. Mulhern
Posted by Wayne Garcia on Thu, Dec 21, 2006 at 3:28 PM
All seven seats on the Tampa City Council (as well as the mayor's office) are up for grabs this spring, and fundraising is already heating up. City Councilman Shawn Harrison, who is jumping out of his district seat and into a citywide race against former Weekly Planet arts critic Mary Mulhern, says he raised more than $20K in a two-week period as he formally kicked off his campaign.
Harrison, who was introduced at his kick-off by former Mayor Dick Greco, says he has $125K in hand and expects to reach $200K total. That puts Mulhern in very familiar territory, running against a well-financed opponent. Mulhern was outraised nearly 8-to-1 in her County Commission loss to Rose Ferlita this year.
Harrison, who has hired the West Palm Beach consultant, Public Concepts, favored by state Sens. Tom Lee and Ken Pruitt, said money — specifically, the public's money — will be at the forefront of his campaign:
My platform is just going to be fiscal conservatism. I’m going to stick with the tax reduction, streamlining the burgeoning bureaucracy that we’ve seen develop over the past four years. I’m going to work on economic development. Those sort of issues are going to be huge in this election.
Disclosures all over the place: Mulhern used to work with me here at CL. Harrison used to be a client of mine when I was a political consultant, and my former business partner, Colleen Mackin, is involved in his campaign.

He's going to need every penny of that money. Shawn is not a very likable guy, and he can't even get voters excited about him in his own district. No extra press, no standout leadership, no wonder he had to gather that murderer's row of local politicos to lend him some grativas.

Oh, and one more thing - there isn't much he can *do* to implement his platform. It's nothing but watered-down fiscal pseudo-conservative boilerplate.

No one likes a Windows XP slow startup.When you startup your computer you want it to be ready to use immediately. I can not make it that fast, but I can help you fix Windows XP slow startup.First step to fix Windows XP slow startup is to find out what programs are loading when you startup Windows XP. To do this click start, run, then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look at the Boot.ini tab. In the box labeled Timeout change the time from the default 30 to 3. This changes how long it waits to before booting.
