Below is a note from Sam Shane
from KOVR News(obviously)
This is after Kevin Johnson got
30 + minutes for free on the day he announced his candidacy.
Media and politics shouldn’t
be an issue.
Crime and flood control, land
use issues, transportation: these should be issues... However the media has already determined who voters will vote for on June 3rd.
It will be KJ or the incumbent.
I am not in the race to fight
money or the influence of the media on a political race.
You the voter, never had a chance
to choose, look for, or even determine who might be the best candidate.
My apologies for not better handling
this aspect of the process. I could have dressed like a cow and walked on the-5 overcrossing to get some news coverage but
I felt speaking of issues and being dilligent would be enough, my mistake.
So, now we will see what we can
force the political machine of Kevin Johnson to hear. Will he hear the neighbor? The small businessman? How about the mother
of not only her own children but of the neighbor’s children whose parent are negligent or absent?
These are things the media didn’t
bother to ask of the candidate with Star power or the almighty dollar those things were secondary …
Lets hope he will be all the
media thinks of him.
So we don’t have to do
this again in four years.
