Myron is in the Jack Sammons College of kissing up. If he does not kiss up like he is supposed to do, he will not have any support for the General Election. He will not win it but if he follows orders, will be allowed in the race. Myron already has his BA in kissing up, now he is going for his Phd. in kissing up. No way he will become Mayor. Mayor Pro Tem is it for Myron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321900698982168395.post-50125894349985871922009-07-13T07:38:39.190-06:002009-07-13T07:38:39.190-06:00Simple --- Lowery should have kept his mouth SHUT!...Simple --- Lowery should have kept his mouth SHUT!

I appreciate Myron's role as a consensus builder and one who listens to and considers every side. I am concerned about his tendency to want to be over-involved. He should not have been part of the charter commission as a council member. He should resign his council seat when he takes the interim job. My experiences have not been the greatest with Lowery in recent years. On the charter commission, he and other commissioners were at my neighborhood meeting where he seemed disinterested in anything that citizens has to say, including some good ideas. Most of the other commissioners listened intendly and showed their appreciation.<br /><br />The very fact that he has announced his staff and his plans as interim mayor shows poor political judgment. Anyone knows that willie is motivated by ego and his "legacy." He could withdraw his resignation at any time and now has decided to delay it to 7/30.<br /><br />A C offers executive experience and quiet but effective leadership, exactly what we need now. He has had to work hard over the last 6 years to undo the damage of 12 years of Jim Rout and has done bitten the bullet while still keeping the public behind him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321900698982168395.post-5285773074651781422009-07-05T16:06:54.408-06:002009-07-05T16:06:54.408-06:00He is a good man.

Last Labor Day the Hurricane Gustav evacuees were in town from New Orleans. Many were being housed - with no support from Emergency Management and very inadequately - at Catholic High.<br /><br />When I ran into Lowery at the midtown Labor Day Picnic, I told him the evacuees did NOT have adequate housing, food or supplies. He pulled out his cell phone and started making calls.<br /><br />My husband and I stopped to buy a few things for the evacuees after the picnic; when we got to Catholic High, Lowery was there talking with officials. Before we left, Emergency Management people showed up taking inventory of what was needed by the evacuees. <br /><br />It was my first - and only - interaction with Lowery, and I was SO impressed with Lowery's TAKE CHARGE attitude. He listened, understood the problem, and made things happen. <br /><br />Not bad characteristics for a Mayor!unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17495426205733528690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321900698982168395.post-51616285552100875122009-07-05T08:02:08.265-06:002009-07-05T08:02:08.265-06:00Myron's not Mayor Herenton but he is his own m...Myron's not Mayor Herenton but he is his own man so that's fine with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2321900698982168395.post-48578876034650316082009-07-05T06:49:53.154-06:002009-07-05T06:49:53.154-06:00Reginald, agreed Lowery is a good guy, but he is g...Reginald, agreed Lowery is a good guy, but he is going to have stiff competition.
