I will be doing a series on South DaCola of ‘who not to vote for’ before I do my endorsements. Vernon gets the first spot.
As Greggo ‘Council Seat handed to him on Silver Platter’ Jamison told a friend the other day, ‘Stop being negative.’ Well Greggo, honesty is not negative, not telling the truth to citizens is very negative. Makes a city councilor like yourself long for a washer and dryer in every bedroom, oh that’s right, you already have that, and you can scramble eggs on your heated garage floor. And Vernon has not been honest with the public. While running against Stehly in the last election he told voters he planned to finish his full term as councilor and had no intentions to run for mayor ‘at that time.’ He also voted against a tax increase then changed his mind down the road and voted for that same tax increase. You know, the one that was ‘supposed’ to be a 50/50 agreement with the developers, but since that increase tax payers have put in over 16x more then the developers. You are either for or against tax increases, you can’t just flip-flop on an issue like that. Makes you wonder what other things he will flip-flop on as mayor.
Why is Mr. Butterflies not qualified besides the lack of honesty and reliability? Well, because he has zero experience to be mayor. ZERO! He was a reporter and a marketing person. Big deal. That means I am qualified to be mayor. While I will give credit to Vernon for his advocacy for the homeless and monkey crappers (he claims bilking the taxpayers to save the zoo as one of his ‘accomplishments’), it does not qualify him to be mayor, if anything, it qualifies him to be a city councilor at best . . . oh . . . wait . . . he already is. Keep being a city councilor Vernon, and some day you may get your former co-worker’s job as Chief of Staff.
Vernon is clearly not ready to be mayor.
