He made the mistake of threatening members of several city councils by implying that their capital improvement requests wouldn't go anywhere if they didn't support the Sealaska lands bill, and attempted to force projects on communities that they didn't want or ask for.<br /><br />He seemed to think that being in the majority caucus and on the Finance Committee was a big deal, but folks were tired of his attempts at negative power politics and his attitude.<br /><br />Jonathan impressed everyone as a sincere non-politician who is interested in what communities want, and who won't try to push folks around.<br /><br />I don't live in the district but have many friends that do, and they were ready for a change.<br /><br />HarpboyAKnoreply@blogger.com
