Take lessons from the Presidential Election.
The Bush campaign makes first strikes against the Kerry campaign with all sorts of misinformation. Kerry is then forced to refute them which makes him look 'defensive'.

Attack SBC/Comcast NOW.
Put together spots that highlight their rate increases, their poor/no service, and maybe even some rumours (you want your fees to increase AGAIN next year! It'll happen!). Force the incumbents to defend their position. They started playing dirty the first round. Your turn, muni's.

I have a friend who just moved to the Chicago area. Renting now but looking to move. I forwarded him this article in hopes that he'd strongly consider moving to your area...

Hey, another spot! "City-owned infrastructure will bring new residents, increasing tax revenues, reducing the tax burden on current residents, and bringing more income to local businesses."
