D3 Nadel Shilling for Constant Contact?

Am I going blind in my old age or is CCM Nancy Nadel (District 3: West Oakland + part of downtown) peddling online direct marketing schemes? With some help from Loreal?

Oh wait it’s not April 1st yet…. memory fades.  Sorry folks!  Had an itch to fill in for A Better Oakland‘s editor who’s probably moved out of Oakland by now, or will be any day now. And I can’t blame her given the city “leadership”‘s lack thereof.
