More Jewels about Jennings

A couple conversations from last night's stop at the local watering hole. Of course we were talking about elections and city politics.

One of the people I chatted with talked about his trip to the polls this week to cast his vote. While there, he saw Mayor Jeff Clemens and he wanted to talk to him since he hasn't seen him at all since his election. It turns out that he couldn't get to speak with him since he was talking to Commissioner Jennings for a span of about 20 minutes. I am sure they were just exchanging recipes, talking about the price of gas or how surprising the Dolphins are this year.

Another person told me that he was all set to vote for Commissioner Cara Jennings. In fact, he was pleased that Commissioner Jennings showed up at his door during the campaign and they talked. He was in the construction trade and has had multiple run-ins and problems with our building department. He told Cara that he can't reach the City Manager and that he has tried on many occasions. Commissioner Jennings said no problem - just e-mail her and she will set up the appointment. He e-mailed her TWO times and got no response. The result: He chose not to vote for anyone in that race.

Join the long line of residents with unanswered e-mails.

And Commissioner Cara Jennings can add another jewel to her crown - she is now "Door-Knocking Coordinator" for her adopted commission candidate. See below from the Emotional Endurance Institute (Suzanne Mulvehill):
