We often like to see
people whom are removed from life of politics fill a void, ironically in
politics. This could be the reason Donald Trump and Dr Ben Carson do so
well in their races for the GOP nomination for president, since neither
have ever held an elected office. Of course one must consider that
perhaps having served in office some amount of necessary experience
could have been gained. Recently, Meg Whitman stated that Carly Fiorina
didn’t have the experience necessary to serve as president.
It becomes really
strange when you come to decide, not on someone who has served in office,
but rather someone behind the curtain pulling the strings. Marcie Bayne
is running for Stockton City Council and has been a string puller for
quite some time. This could either give her some insight into how things
actually get done, or make her completely blind with a set of
intrinsic values that would see no movement at all while sitting on the
deis.
Of course Bayne has
massive issues with a ton of people in Stockton politics already. One
could assume that these issues are actually grudges that would certainly
blind her from doing what is best for the city. Already earlier this
year she was accused of being biased while sitting on the charter review
commission , and she was also let go by the Central Labor Council. Not to mention that the Stockton Police Officers Association has already endorsed her opponent.
She seems to surround herself with the most controversial people in Stockton as well, Having her inner circle consisting of Neat Allen Sawyer, Mayor Anthony Silva, and Motec Sanchez. In fact, she has admitted that the super controversial N. Allen Sawyer is working on her race. I guess we will see how a political professional does on the other side of the line soon.
