There is some weirdness going on in the race for Ward 6. Apparently, Councilman Steve Ross sent out a mailer accusing his opponent, Jennifer L. Taylor, of making her living "defending special interests like developers, big subcontractors, and insurance companies." Or, as attorneys like to call it, "making a living." The specific allegation focused on a case wherein Taylor supposedly defended an insurance company against a claim from a small business owner. (How dare she!) Turns out, however, that Ross accused the wrong Jennifer Taylor. The case in question had two Jennifer Taylors listed as counsel, a Jennifer L. Taylor and a Jennifer N. Taylor.
A letter from a partner at Lewis Brisbois vindicated Jennifer L., stating that she never represented that nasty insurance company. We're not quite sure how you accidently get listed as "Lead Attorney" on a case, but whatever. A note on Ross' smear site half-heartedly apologized for the mistake.
(Thanks, Anon)
I love how the guy doesn't come out and say that he thinks she's lying. I can just hear the dripping sarcasm "Of course I believe she had nothing to do with it, the newly modified, right after the info became public, docket says so."
ReplyDeleteThe two Jennifer Taylors have been confused on several occasions by the court over the years. If Mr. Ross' big issue is that Ms. Taylor does insurance defense work, it doesn't say much for the substance of his campaign.
ReplyDeleteI think the whole campaign strategy developed by Ross and his backers (including the smear site, the mailers, etc.), are fairly indicative of the extent of substance in his campaign...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing very nice.............
