You may have heard about the smear campaign against Orlando City Council District 5 candidate Regina Hill over the last few days. It seems that Regina Hill was arrested a few times starting when she was 18 years old, more that 25 years ago. She has since turned her life around and has been a pillar of leadership and openness in the community.
The slanted article appeared in the Orlando Sentinel locally, and a New York publication as well. Someone worked hard to get this out but it never gained any momentum. As smear campaigns go, it was a complete and utter flop.
The person or persons who instigated this ought to be ashamed not only for doing it, but for failing so miserably at it. There was no thought or plan for it's success. Some FaceBook philosophers feels that the perpetrator is a failure all around.
Speaking of FaceBook, I could not find a single comment which was negative against Ms. Hill. Here are a few that express the sentiments of most. The comments are unedited and names were blocked out.
Comment From Orlando Sentinel: - "She's paid for the crimes in her past, and she wants to serve the people. She wants to bring resources down here," --------- said. "Daisy Lynum is not serving the people."
Media Writer: Let me think about exactly the politically correct response I can muster up…oh yes: "who cares!" If the public can forgive President Clinton for getting oral satisfaction from an intern in the Oval Office…we can certainly find a way to identify when a person has turned their life around. This is simply a way for Commissioner Lynam to feed an attack because she fears this candidate. I've worked along side Regina and I stand beside her as she seeks to be a better voice for her district. Back to the issues…It's time for change in the district. Jeeezzz…if we're judged for every mistake we make in life…..well, let's just say..if we're lucky to learn from them…then we're VERY lucky. And I believe she has. Next:)
Media Writer: Perhaps as Regina Hill says, this record will be viewed favorably by members of District 5. Better to learn of it now then one day before the election

Media Writer: If I was a resident of D5 I would pretty much
vote for anyone who hasn't committed murder vs Lynum
Media Writer: I hope to be hearing of more skeletons from the closet on other officials running for office soon...and they are out there believe it
Media Writer: The smear campaign probably fueled by the Lynum machine is just one of many reasons she's got to go!
Media Writer: I appears that Regina and the people in District 5 are one and the same. She has pulled herself up and created a nice life for herself and is reaching back to help others. She is showing them that they can make it also. Been there, done that, got the Tee shirt.
Media Writer: REGARDLESS OF the TIMING of this OS article
Regina Hill is proving that self-rehabilitation does exists....The current Regina Hill I have come to know is the one every fallen person should emulate....If Ms. Hill feels she has turned her past performance around to serve her community she has a right to let her incumbent-piers decide.....At this time she is not being accused or charged of any wrongdoing....and come April's time to elect her peers will decide her fate....BUT win, loose or draw she should be commended for having overcome her demons and becoming the NOT so PERFECT person that her detractors ought to get inspired by!
Media Writer: I SUPPORT Regina Hill
Media Writer: You got my vote Regina Hill...Ms. Daisy your time is up
Media Writer: Smear Campaign? Well, Regina is a overcomer and her work in the communities speaks for herself. Who is perfect and has no flaws? I thought my imagination did not even SEE one hand go up.......
Media Writer: Now THIS the kinda party I like the juke at. Call on me anytime. I don't live in those areas but i live a good fight.
Media Writer: ------ - Dig it!!
Media Writer: HEY THEYYY HAD TO GO BACK 31YRS... WOW U BEEN ON YOUR JOB OVER 20YRS....NOW ORLANDO WE ALL SHOULD BE READY TO KICK SOME BUTT!!!!!!! LETS GO REGINA.......
Media Writer: MULTIPLY THIS x 1000 TIMES....SMILE REGINA HILL...GOD AND THOSE WHO SINCERELY SUPPORT YOU, CARE FOR YOU STILL, NO MATTER WHAT %$*& HITS THE FAN !
(Trying to hold onto power, did Daisy Lynum attempt to smear her opponent?)
Media Writer:
Many believe so... Money exchanged hands to smear RH name...investation of how it was allowed and who was paid to involve themselves is needed....
