Tonight at the JWN & League of Women Voters forum for Ward 1 candidates, all five candidates skewered the lack of accountability of the City Manager. 

And who is most to blame for that? Kitty Piercy.

What will Vinis do? Follow the exact same path of covering for the City Manager and deflecting accountability.

Look, I argue with Mike all the time about issues. Yes, he's a "conservative." But he's a _principled_ elected official who respects the role of City Council and a legitimate deliberative process by the 9 elected officials. Unlike Piercy, who colluded with the City Manager to skew and subvert the council agendas and meeting process.
 
As a _true_ progressive, I support Emily Semple in Ward 1 and will fight for folks, middle class or poor, who our dear "Mayor for All Eugene" has trampled. But I can abide losing a council vote, if the process by which it occurs is fair. Vinis will be the puppet of Piercy and Ruiz.

Clark will ensure the council makes the decision, fair & square.
