These TCC spin doctors are among some of the wealthiest in the community. They repeatedly try to hide behind their flimsy arguments of implementing the "peoples will" when they actively fight majority rule at every turn (see their latest efforts to keep an alternative budget from the people last month as an example) like making any changes to the charter that doesn't fit their extremist agenda. Yes, I mean you Jeff, Justin and Nancy.

Their hypocrisy is particularly evident when you ask them to support a properly tax exemption for the most at-risk among us (low income and/or seniors and others on a fixed income). Watch how quickly they run when they are asked to pay their fair share. The at-risk are viewed by them as political pawns to be used for them and their agenda. It's never really about the community with them, it's always about themselves. We can do better than that.

He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
