 One of the key planks of his platform was a proposal to hire an independent integrity officer to help restore public trust in city hall, following the controversy around Larry Di Ianni's campaign contributions in 2003.While local media referred often to Eisenberger's 2006 win by 452 votes, few in the media managed to observe that ex-mayor Larry Di Ianni's vote had sharply dropped by 17,000 from 2003—a highly significant factor—from 70,539 to 53,658 votes.Eisenberger also refused donations from corporations and unions and was outspent four to one by his main opponent (Di Ianni).
