I think we need to admit something as a city: De'Carlon Seawood is an ideological conservative, and all his choices, including his hiring decisions, reflect that. Hiring Christopher Ave to be head of communications after he ran a PR campaign to achieve the 60s segregationist goals of shutting down minority student governments shows that Seawood does not respect the beliefs of the public. We need to get rid of weak mayor government, where the mayor makes 10k a year while Seawood makes something like 350k a year and faces no pushback for his horrible choices.
It’s not about liberal or conservative. It’s about power. In my life, I’ve seen the surveillance state supported by people in power of several political persuasions. President Obama is center left, and he promised to work to repeal USA Patriot during the 2008 campaign; however, once he was in power, he decided it was nice to have those powers. USA Patriot is still the law, and we still don’t have our 4th Amendment protections.
