Chaos to Stability in Jusy 10 Months »
From July 1, 2006, until Jackson Mayor Michael Reina took office, this town suffered from instability and recrimination. In his few months in office, Mayor Reina has restored open government, volunteerism and effective leadership. More importantly, during these poor economic times he has balanced our budget with just a small increase. He did this while keeping our payment to the state pension fund up to date instead of delaying it and incurring an 8.5 percent surcharge. These are just a few reasons that Mayor Reina deserves to be elected to the short six-month term on Election Day, Nov. 3. His three challengers have nothing of significance to offer. Angelo Stallone seems to have a memory lapse in his campaign statements when he neglects to mention he voted for former Mayor Mark Seda’s 32 percent tax increase in 2006 and voted against gypsy moth spraying the same year. John Gaskill has a plan for the municipal government to take over garbage collection. The end result will be a 10 percent-plus increase in our taxes. Do we really need more government control affecting our daily lives? Why is Michael Kafton running? First, it appears he has a compulsion to run. His ill-advised run in 2006 resulted in a split vote that gave us the Seda administration. Second, a win will allow him to appoint the town professionals for 2010. With “pay to play” he can then expect campaign donations for the May 2010 election for mayor
