David Orr says vote for Lioneld Jordan

Jordan listens, learns
Lioneld Jordan has earned the respect of thousands of Fayetteville citizens over the years by listening to, learning from and working with people at the neighborhood level to get things done. He’s made some mistakes, as everyone has, but Lioneld has impressed me greatly that he’s been willing to admit to and accept responsibility for those errors. But more importantly, he’s been right most of the time ! I was disappointed to see the recent report that our incumbent mayor accused Lioneld of planning to unionize city workers. Dan [Coody ] should know that the mayor cannot do this — under federal law. That process (and right ) is vested in the rank-and-file city staff. The mayor is management and can neither organize nor vote for or against unionization. I’m surprised our current mayor has such a fundamental misunderstanding of our nation’s labor laws. Lioneld Jordan knows that the city staff, our police and firefighters need our support; they certainly shouldn’t be used as political footballs to be kicked around in the heat of this important election. Please join me in supporting and voting for Lioneld Jordan. Lioneld understands better the needs and concerns of average, working people in our town. He will make an effective mayor for Fayetteville.
