Peter Brown is 2 for 2!
By DAVID ORTEZ on September 10, 2009
Peter Brown has rolled out Television Ad number 2 and like any good sequel this one gets the job done.
Once again, Brown delivers a positive, dynamic, polished ad that introduces potential voters to his "Blueprint" for a better Houston.
In this advert, Brown emphasizes on neighborhood policing, smart development and bottom line budgeting. This translates to: safer communities with low crime rates, practical living initiatives that will somehow target our traffic problem and cutting spending.
Seems like a win win situation for me. The only concern I have is the "smart development" portion ... which the narrator claims will be "a common sense plan for Houston’s businesses, neighborhoods, and parks … to combat flooding and cut congestion … improving our quality of life."
Thw word development sounded like "zoning" at first and with Brown being an architect ... I would not be surprised if that is what he meant.
After digging around on his website ... I could not find any evidence that indicates that Brown wants to change the landscape of Houston ... at least when it comes to zoning.
I offered my two cents on Peter Brown's "Blueprint for Traffic" which offers his vision and proposals in dealing with congestion in Houston.
Peter Brown claims:
“As an architect, I know what it takes to turn a blueprint into a building, taking a plan and putting it into action. I know how to get the job done. My background as a businessman -- managing a national firm, meeting payroll, growing a business, and creating jobs -- is exactly the type of experience our next mayor will need to make Houston even better.”
We'll see if Houstonians agree this November. As for the ad ... what did you think? Was it a hit or miss?
P.S. The only criticism that I have about the ad will be the same that I had for the first ad ... giving the Peter Brown Campaign the benefit of the doubt ... I will surmise that this ad was created around the same time as the first one and thus my suggestions could not really be entertained ... right? (wink, wink)
