Last night I attended the third candidates forum, thus far, during this 2011. This was the first forum attended by my opponent and I still do not know what his platform or vision is for our city. What is John's plan to reduce our 16% unemployment rate? What is John's plan to improve our city's low number of college graduates? What is John's plan to help improve quality of life? At some point you are going to have to speak for yourself and not let others speak for you.
The citizens of Ward 5 and the AME Zion Church on 4th street helped put together this candidates forum. I would like to thank, Rick Holmes and AME Zion for hosting and giving the candidates an opportunity to be heard.
It is through open and honest dialogue with citizens that we will be able to work out of our current economic situation.
