Sheldon? Glad you asked.
Heck, it's amazing how closely they resemble each other.

Is he really wearing a tshirt at an official meeting? Not an impromptu one? Have some respect…
Seems a little early in the day for ad hominem attacks. You should research some of the good points he brought up during the water hearing the other day.
I'm no conservative but this is very disrespectful to the office in my opinion. It communicates that he does not take the job seriously.
He needs to grow up and dress like an adult.
Just for context, the rest of the council members were wearing that shirt too that day, but the men at least had on a blazer over it. It was recognition of some event/occasion.
I thought that was Shad at first
Well, can you inform us about what are the good points he brought up?
He’s a white highly educated liberal with a masters degree from Columbia University. Coffee shop lib. Show some respect this isn’t Portland Oregon or Austin Texas
yes but Vernon Hartley instead wore a suit sans t shirt.
Is he Jackson’s version of John Fetterman?
He should dress at least business casual for these meetings. This is coming from someone who hates dressing up, but this shows poor judgment in my opinion.
That would be an upgrade for the team.
Hardly an ad hom attack. If you're indicative of Parky's skin thickness he's in for a long, long 4 years.
Fetterman appears to have a spine. So the answer to your question is 'No'.
He’s too liberal to be Fetterman. He’s district is a lot of white st Andrews educated liberals stuck in academia and have family money. That’s who voted him in
A watered down version of Virgi and the ward is screwed.
slow news day....
He was eating soup at one of the council meetings. I was watching it live. Unbelievable.
At least he participates in the Pledge of Allegiance. Right?
One of these days maybe he'll realize that the Jackson intelligentsia have staked their careers on race-politics.
He will always be their foil, scapegoat, enemy, etc., and they will always hate him because he's white, because that's where their bread it buttered.
Being liberal and trying to be their friend will only produce more revulsion and scorn. Again, because that's where their own interests lie.
I didn't approve a comment because it was trashing someone personally, not the Councilman, and there was no need for it. It would have generated another half a dozen copycats as well.
I appreciate the context from above that it was part of some special day and others were wearing shirts. But yes, overall, not good.
At least he is responsive unlike Virgi.
He needs to keep a sport coat, or at least a rain jacket, like Grizzel and Stokes. That's not meant as a dis.
