This is actually a pretty interesting round-up introducing the official kick off the Austin Mayor's race in the local media's eyes as produced by KXAN. Also, if you are very sharp eyed, you might recognize a couple BOR writers at the 35 second mark.
Also, it was interesting to see the relatively unknown Jason Morales on camera who was quoted with this statement in the story.
"I know Austin needs a professional, someone who has been in the trenches, someone who has dealt with finances, someone who has dealt with a budget." said Morales. "The city needs someone who knows how to tackle these issues and do it efficiently. I know Austin needs that. I know Austin needs a CEO, so I'm stepping up."
Congrats to him for actually getting one of the precious few campaign quotes. Burnt Orange Report is actually attempting to schedule some time to meet with Mr. Morales who recently created a user account here, but I do have to ask the following question.
Given the current climate of American corporate business and banking management, is saying Austin needs a CEO is the best messaging?
ed. note. Kudos to KXAN for actually having embedable news segments. KVUE could learn a thing or two from them.
