[quote=jpinpb]bearishgurl – you run. I’ll vote for you!!![/quote]
Thanks, jpinpb – LOL!! But, if you live in PB, you wouldn’t be able to vote for me! Your supervisor is the infamous “Pamela Slater-Price.”
Actually, I DID have two backers and a “volunteer campaign mgr.” in the ’90’s to run against Cox. The idea of my “candidacy” was just tossed around amongst my peers at the time because I knew the inner workings of county govm’t inside and out . . . in my head. I declined to run because Cox was/is a former educator, entrenched and well-connected and I was a relative nobody with a limited education (degree[s] and “Board of Directors” stints talk in politics as opposed to “street-smarts”).
4th Dist. Supvsr. Roberts is/was a very well-connected architect. Haven’t checked but probably owns his home in Mission Hills outright by now. In addition, Roberts is “quick on the draw,” is no dummy and very gracious when mingling with the public and his constituency. I have met all of them a few times and he is my favorite of the five. Jackson is wasting her time running against him. I hear people complain about the same supvrs getting re-elected but until there are term limits set for that office and/or the incumbents choose to retire, I don’t see any of them getting “replaced.”
Another quote from VOSD piece: “I decided to sacrifice and refinance my home to keep myself afloat,” Jackson said.
IMHO, this was a “conscious decision” on her part to continue to live beyond her means, knowing that she may have to sacrifice her house. She’s part of the problem why banks are now putting everyone thru the wringer who applies for any kind of loan, even those with a flawless credit history who never borrowed what they didn’t/couldn’t pay back.
