Attention: Imminent Press Conference

David Pandori and Tom McEnery really, really hate casinos. So much so that they, during the 2006 Mayoral race, held a press conference condemning the imaginary influence of casinos on the Democratic Party and, by extension, Cindy Chavez. A very long, dubious extension.

During this press conference, in which they sprayed City Hall's new sandstone facade with angry man spittle, each touted his strong line against casinos while Mayor/Councilmember, and railed against the hidden effort to bring casinos to our City. (A video clip is available via the link above.)

So they'll doubtless become apoplectic when they see this photo sent by a tipster:


Prepare to be chilled to the bone. The name of that casino, emblem of evil and corruption of our children, appears on a list of new members of the Chamber of Commerce.

I'm not sure what time the press conference in which Tom and David (oh, and Chuck, who plays some role in their cabal) will be - once we find out, we'll let you know. Or maybe, recognizing the complete ineffectiveness of the Chamber at actually bringing jobs to the City, they'll give them a pass.

Or maybe that first press conference during the Mayor's race was complete grand-standing by men desperate to hold on to the old system of power and privilege they established.

Only the Shadow knows.
