"Support of Adams shows weakness" (Letter in Times-Free Press)
Wade Swicord & Sandy Kurtz participated in the 40 Days of Listening forum on the parks and the environment. Wade Swicord wrote this letter that was published yesterday, Dec. 9, in the Chattanooga Times-Free Press. I want to publicly thank Mr. Swicord for his engaging and passionate involvement in politics.
Support of Adams shows weakness
Last week our most prominent Republican political figures, and cross dressers such as our mayor, gathered to honor and support Curtis Adams for county commissioner.
The public, by default, has allowed archaic candidates with no planful future and who act on fossilized opinions to remain in control of the biggest business in Hamilton County.
Adams’ family values led the county to support his mother in a rest home.
His educational plan keeps the relation between the school board and the commission in turmoil.
John Bailes jumped in feet first as the Democratic candidate. His weekly listening meetings and door-to-door campaign finds a sense of disconnect between Adams and those he should serve.
By default, John is now the surrogate leader who is fielding calls for public help.
The public wants a change. The Republicans really know this and if you do not believe they are in trouble, look at whom they are supporting.
Obviously they need someone they can manipulate and not a leader.
I will personally challenge Mr. Adams to write, unaided, a reasonable and coherent essay on any one of the following topics: transportation, health care, education, city and urban planning, energy and global warming.
