[Summit] Kevin Jackson Bashing Is over the Top

[Coryndon Luxmoore]

You may not agree with my perspective but its not being a "hater" to
complain about Kevin Jackson and to withdraw my support for him.
- Lack of presence at local meetings or events
- The slush fund he uses (and fought to defend) to direct city money to his
favorite charity with no accountability
- His support of a candidate that committed multiple felonies using the
privilege and power afford to him by the mayors office. Not to mention the
structural deficit that increased my tax rates and lowered my city services
over the last 10 years.


As for the signs, you are right in saying they are "aggressively"
supporting their candidate. People's response to aggression is not always
positive and so the reaction here is entirely predictable. I despise them
for Buddy as I did Soloman's in Wayland square. I am particularly am
unhappy with the idea that politicians have carved out an exception that
allows people to trash our neighborhood for their benefit while I would be
cited doing it for my own purposes.
