The reality is that Jewell has not done a good job of representing citizens’ interests- go ahead, ask the citizens and residents. Now developers are afraid of losing his vote, including one for Echo Harbour.
But in addition to his leadership failings, this DUI reveals a failure in character, and more than ever, Jewell should RESIGN!
There are a lot more questions circling, and if there any serious journalists out there, I sugges they start digging.
Here’s a freebie:
Why is Henry W. McLaughlin of legal aid, an organization that represents the poor in non-criminal cases, representing Councilman Jewell? I believe, by charter and due to restrictions placed on them by the federal government, they aren’t allowed to appear in criminal cases.
