I did inde...Count me among the Jackson supporters! <BR/>I did indeed vote for him in the last election and in my opinion, he has delivered on restructuring city police coverage and in the process improved response time. He has delivered on improving CMSD schools with the hiring of Dr. Eugene Sanders, especially in terms of offering niche schools that compete with charter and private programs, a necessary step to build momentum in attracting new students to the district. Less obvious, and much less glamorous, if any of the aforementioned initiatives could be described as such; is his work to restructure the inner workings of City Hall to enable employees to be more productive, while concurrently providing tools to gauge their performance. If this succeeds in motivating even one tenth of city employees, it is a Herculean triumph! <BR/>In addition, I appreciate his recent stances on the Innerbelt bridge, even though I believe it is in our best interests to further develop our mass transit system, as well as his qualified support of the MedMart project. <BR/>Overall, I'm a proud supporter of this 'quiet' mayor and very much appreciate that characteristic as compared to the bombastic visionary for which so many in this region clamor.guvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13449728632031356259noreply@blogger.com
