Strange, to bad it is not only the election board not interested in pursuing the issue of residency. The media here choses who they will report on and who they won’t. I guess it is a matter of who is paying who.

I think that as leaders and I guess we are because we are interested in who is running, we need to rally around these people and help them if need be instead of riduling them. I believe these are the only candidates we have and no matter what their issues, we all have them from time to time may not be of the same flavor but issues just the same. Let’s find out how we can help and stop being a hinderance. It’s hard enough getting adequate people to represent us. Let’s help them no matter who’s camp they’re in. Bottom line one of them will be our State Representative unless there is a hidden plan out there.

Local 420? Like a job interview? Please!! They don’t have the perceived power that they used to have. I heard that Local 420 didn’t call candidates until the night before to even tell them they were interviewing. How unorganized can ‘organized labor’ be?

Showing up with her baby doesn’t mean she’s irresponsible or less qualified. But, having $800 in tickets and getting your car towed from in front of City Hall does show irresponsiblity and blatant disregard for the law. Not to mention, I heard that Miss Harris doesn’t even have a driver’s license! How’s she going to get to Jefferson City if she can’t drive? Who’s she going to bum rides from every week? As the Whirl said, “Shame on you Miss Harris.”

Sue,

I think your analysis and comments on Ms. Jones is shortsighted, insensitive and misses the mark. I would venture to say that Ms. Jones, and her motherhood best suits her to be a public servant because she has a clear stake and motivation to address issues and problems facing the commoners of this city; like child care affordablity, working to ensure that we have quality schools, and safe neighborhoods where children can learn, play and develop. Now who is best to understand that, and how to create a nurturing environment than a mother? Your point goes further to prove Ms. Jones, or any mother wishing to serve in the public, the level of sacrifice that these individuals are willing to make to serve there communities. Dear Mamas, you are appreciated!
