Thanks for the heads-up. <BR/><BR/>Since this is a blog and one is supposed to provoke discussion, I will go out on a limb here and say my impression of Phillip Jackson over the years is that he's a lot more talk than action. <BR/><BR/>My impression of Esther, while more recently formed, is that she's more action than talk.Maritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729429896105375815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12342221.post-72076541439579905612007-09-06T17:57:00.000-07:002007-09-06T17:57:00.000-07:00Casual blog observer, here.For what it's worth, I ...Casual blog observer, here.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, I think Phillip Jackson is planning to run against Rep. Golar. <BR/><BR/>I can't say I have an opinion about Golar, but I know Phillip Jackson to be a fundamentally good man. He's worked for CPS and the Black Star project and a number of other things.<BR/><BR/>Just an FYI.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12342221.post-29288165264206697132007-09-05T19:37:00.000-07:002007-09-05T19:37:00.000-07:00Hey, I tried to post a response but it's not up he...Hey, I tried to post a response but it's not up here. 49th Street Neighbor, yes, the petitions are for Esther Golar, not me. I won't be running for office for a long, long time, if ever. And though I understand your frustration about Esther's office and materials, I think that has a lot to do with being a rookie state rep without a lot of money. Prior to taking office, Esther had worked as a community liaison for CAPS, been an organizer for Neighborhood Housing Services in our area (she's still on the Back of the Yards local board) and a Local School Council member at Fulton Elementary. She's done a lot for safety, housing and education in the neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>And, yes, if you want to get out there and speak up, or even run for office, that sounds great to me!Maritzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10729429896105375815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12342221.post-65977262664407081222007-09-04T09:54:00.000-07:002007-09-04T09:54:00.000-07:00Are you running for office Maritza?

If so then count me out because in the past i had tried to even find out what her role was in the community although she wasnt there her assistant had no clue which i thought was a bad reputation in my eyes. I left my name and number to have my question answered and never received a call, plus I wanted to help out in whichever way possible and again nothing from her office. All i received from that encounter were really cheesy fliers that any grammar school kid can come up with. Bottom line i was unimpressed with her services and at times i feel that i could do a better job especially with her lack of credentials for the postition that she holds!<BR/><BR/>I guess i should try to be more outspoken and maybe be more proactive instead of holding all my feelings to myself. Plus i know the neighborhood like the palm of my hand.<BR/><BR/>But if you are running for office Maritza let us know because although i dont know you personally i like your outspoken demeanor and you might bring something better to the community!<BR/><BR/>Your neighbor from 49th streetAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
