Yesterday on Fox News Chicago's "Good Day Chicago," consultant Thom Serafin discussed the problems facing the proposed state income tax hike. Near the 2:45 point in the video below, anchor Corey McPherrin asks Serafin about his take on Congressman Luis Gutierrez's endorsement of Gery Chico for Mayor. Serafin said that the Gutierrez endorsement was a "good thing." What Serafin failed to disclose, as per Early and Often's daily "Palm Card" e-mail, was that Chico's spokeswoman, Brooke Anderson, Brooke Anderson, came to the campaign from Serafin's public relations firm.

Chicagoist readers may also remember Serafin from Kevin's post last year looking into Wal-Mart's astroturfing tactics in Chatham. Serafin's public relations firm was behinf the "Oour Community Our Choice" website.
