There's an old saying - "Be carefull of what you ask for it may come true".
If I am not mistaken, the original urging for CM Samuels to run in the 3rd
ward came from CM Johnson-Lee. If he was a good enough choice for her to
urge him to run then, what has changed? The potential ward conflict existed
at the time when CM Johnson-Lee approached CM Samuels.
Also, I recently have read where CM Johnson-Lee does not approve of the
PEACE Foundation and views it as a "cash-drain" on other PNP's on the
northside. I guess I'd like to know whether any existing PNP actually
received LESS funding from existing donors, or, if it as I suspect, that CM
Samuels founded a new PNP that brought-in additional funding to help address
the issues on the northside. If it is nw NOT a good thing, then why was CM
Johnson-Lee a backer and financial contributor when it was founded? What
has changed?
I find it perfectly normal that CM Samuels would choose to run for
re-elction in the ward that has probably the highest concentration of
minority constituents. That is where his heart and his moral convictions
are rooted.
