I completely agree with Steve’s assessment. While I certainly think that job training for the incarcerated is important, to defend the training of these youth for something that he himself has benefited from is beyond ridiculous.

In the hope of enlightening Mr. Davis he should know that if he didn’t pay the youth’s $2/hour wage (which is obviously the case per his quote in the RTD), it is we, THE TAXPAYERS, who footed the bill.

It’s clear by his responses to the times dispatch that Mr. Davis doesn’t believe he did anything wrong and that in itself is almost more disturbing. I hope the residents of the 3rd district are outraged by what is clearly unethical behavior.

Looks like Jonthan Davis broke state election laws by using his state job to design and print his stuff for his campaign. Even if Mr. Davis truly believes he didn’t nothing wrong, this shows his lack of good judgement and should not be running for City Council.

To the 2nd Jennifer C. – Perhaps you should go after a different office holder for official dates. Wilder is in charge of the executive branch, which is responsible for restoring our park.

The BPCA and representatives of the Dept. of Parks and Rec. have made announcements at every monthly BPCA meeting for the entire 2008 year. While in no way are the developments new, the executive branch of the city has provided the BPCA with multiple opening dates, most of which have passed with no opening of the park. Perhaps the best way to “fight the issues that face us” in regard to the opening of the park, is to call Wilder’s office directly.

Since quite a few people cross-post on several of the neighborhood weblogs, I wanted to be sure that people know that the “Jennifer C” posting on this one is not the same one who posts on CHPN and H&H. Also, Jennifer C the Second, I’d appreciate it if you’d pick another screen name. I don’t want people getting confused.

Rick,
I belong to a Civic Association in our district, I never said I belonged to North Central specifically. Although, I have taken an interest in the status of repairs for the park, it is all possible that I may have missed a new development. Do you know when the football is being finished or the playground replaced with grass? Please let me know, what I have missed.

Jennifer. So you don’t live within the Battery Park. I’m quessing you have not been to recent Battery Park Civic Association meeting since you are part of North Central assocation.

If you haven’t been to a recent Battery Park meeting then you have not gotten the information on what is or going to be done with the park.

JS, “sheepish” wasn’t the word that sprung to mind. I was thinking you should be embarrassed. I never, not once, criticized anyone about the quality of their writing or the use of their grammer. You on the other hand spend the first paragraph of your attack on me talking about my use of complete sentences. How dare you sir? And how ironic it is that YOUR post is riddled with errors. Look towards yourself before you let out a barrage of petty insults. WE, who live in the third district need to be fighting about the issues that face us all. Now maybe you have life so good that my concerns are merely groundless complaints, but I encounter the real victims of these issues everyday. I have however, found it difficult to correct a problem unless you acknowledge it exists. The third district can improve and I will continue doing what I can to see that it does. You should feel silly for attacking me on my prose and not the content of my arguements.
Shame on you sir. You are not the grammer police, as your post clearly shows.
Jennifer C.

P.S. I am a part of a North Richmond Civic association. Additionally, I volunteer with two organizations that are geared toward issues in our district.

Jen, you sound ver concerned for your community. Did you live within the Battery Park? If you do you should come to our meetings. We are always in need of helping hands.

I feel sheepish about my posting. Here I am going on about grammar and I made some mistakes of my own. For my own sake please replace pros with proes, please replace tied with tired (third paragraph) and strike the second “use” in the second paragraph. Sorry for these, it just goes to show you cannot proof read enough.

Jennifer – Please, relax! I do not want you to have a heart attack over a public blog which by design is a place for those on both sides of the third district council race to offer their opinions.

Your postings, which might I add are elegant in their interesting use of grammar and pros, seem to be way off point. It is hard to take you seriously when you offer a plethora of complaints, which are simply that, complaints. Now I realize we are all entitled to our own opinions, or as you put it our own free speech. It fair to offer a counter argument to those who disagree with you, but if you are going to do so, perhaps you should use facts as opposed to conjecture, and perhaps you use use complete sentences if you are going to be taken seriously.

Finally, if you are tied of those “people who talk big and bad on the internet,” (which more appropriately would be writing big and bad) than perhaps you should should quit blogging all together. After all, the blog exists on a website, and thus is the only place to be, as you put it “big and bad.”

Just to add, are your postings not a bit adversarial (“big and bad”) in their own right?
