Hon Lien Goes Negative (UPDATED)
7:38 AM - Link to this article.
Hon Lien's campaign also released a hit piece yesterday, attacking Kansen Chu for health code violations at his restaurant in the early 1990s. Because if there's one primary job responsibility of a City Councilmember, it's keeping roaches of out the building.
It also lists tax liens (pronounced "leans") and includes photos of the code violations, most of which are snapshots of grubby counters and buckets. None of the photos or code violations is after 1994 - and the dates of the liens aren't listed.
The mail has the same aesthetics as Chuck Reed's "Roll the Dice" mail piece from last year - plain white backgrounds, awkward text - and has a warning, for faint-hearted readers, about the photos within. Frankly, you'd have to be pretty faint-hearted.
The piece definitely whiffs of desperation. Mountain from a molehill anyone? These violations were thirteen years ago. The piece indicates that all problems were taken care of. And, frankly, none of the issues seems like anything related to being on the City Council. Now if, say, the company in Kansen's control had gone bankrupt, just last year - that seems like more of an issue.
As a service to the Lien campaign, I have created the following graphic, to put on future versions of this piece.
You're welcome, Hon. Let's do lunch! Chinese?
UPDATE: An anonymous tipster points out the sheer hypocrisy of this mail piece given that one of Hon Lien's companies, Sunnyvale Seafood, for which she was the CEO (and which was sued by creditors), received a warning letter in 2002 from the Department of Health and Human Services for "serious deviations from the Seafood HACCP regulations". I believe the vocabulary word you're looking for is gall.

Hon Lien declares bankruptcy, and violates the trustee plan by spending her money on the campaign, and she is worried about garbarge buckets??
Isn't Ajlouny a garbarge man, himself??
How hypocritical for her to talk negatively about liens when she is a Lien.
I guess she had to do something to distract from the fact that yesterday was May Day.
Isn't Ajlouny a garbarge man, himself??
Just shorten that to Garbage, period.
Have you heard about the liens on one of her belly up business flops?
She says that it went to the wrong address.
Does anyone want to buy a bridge in Brooklyn?
