Where French promises to bridge racial divide, Jones has sought to exploit it.
Jones seems to view elective office as a private bag of perks for her to exploit and feel lucky about.
Whenever having a city staffer deliver a letter that accused racism editorial board, apparently for our criticism of her spending habits, she canceled an interview with us 15 minutes until it was to start. That attitude should drive business investors away. Thence, french has that credibility, mainly being that he walked the streets during Ferguson protests, posted his own videos of confrontations and wound up being arrested himself during one of them.

Louis needs a mayor who could reach out to underserved AfricanAmerican residents and inspire broader community activism to we have to not fool ourselves. Reed, 54, has had more than enough chances to demonstrate leadership at the Board helm of Aldermen, yet his record was probably unimpressive. We pressed him for details on his ideas to stimulate investment, fight blight and reduce crime. He was vague and every now and then solved questions with questions, like Krewson. Ok, and now one of most significant parts. Most struggled to go deeper than a few rehearsed talking points, when pressed for details. Where French offers specificity, others offer fuzzy ideas and halfbaked solutions.
Various different candidates expressed a desire to place more city resources into improvements and address growing blight.
French has had some tense exchanges with city police officers, and noticeable fence mending efforts would’ve been required to ensure their cooperation with his plans to fight crime and enhance enforcement in the city’s 15 most troubled neighborhoods.
