My World is My Stage

This article is a little outdated. It was one of the one’s I’ve been meaning to comment on for a while not but never got around to it…

I think Campbell actually has a legit shot here. After reading about his platform, he seems to be saying the right things. Here is an excerpt from the article:

expansion of small businesses, creating affordable housing options, including secure inner-city dwellings, and balancing the budget by improving established revenue streams and eliminating unnecessary allocations, starting with payroll aka, “the jobs of government employees who have been around for decades and aren’t doing anything.” The Mayoral hopeful also proposes decriminalizing marijuana and taxing exotic dancers

It seems like all of his ideas directly respond to the needs and opportunities of the city. In the article they said Campbell gre increasingly frustrated by politicians who told the citizens what they wanted to hear during their campaigns but once in office, they failed to change the status quo. Fed up with seeing the same impoverished communities, high crime and mortality rates, Campbell has decided to be the change he wanted to see.

I actually think he can get things done. Like it states, Campbell is not concerned about public image, he has gone toe-to-toe with the systems to fight for what he believes. One would think that he could and would bring the same type of “get shit done” attitude to the office. With all of the craziness my home state is doing, electing Uncle Luke as mayor of one of the most popular cities, not only in the state, but in the country, just doesn’t seem that out of whack. What you think?
