I don’t live in the City of Jackson — but I agree with soon-to-be former Mayor Harvey Johnson, it’s the trunk of a tree. How it goes, the whole area goes. I’ve worshiped in Jackson, volunteered in Jackson, worked in Jackson and buried friends in Jackson. It’s a city with amazing potential and some serious issues. Today’s election is between two men with very different styles and visions for the city.
If you live in the city, vote. Do your homework and make the effort. Don’t be persuaded by some of the fear-mongering going on. Get to the polls and make your opinion known. There will be a low turnout. Your vote will make even more of a difference.
