It’s a weak field, but the top nine are better than ten and below. Pam will be a big loss for the City if it plays out this way. Let’s hope her supporters find understanding in their hearts, as she was a victimized woman and did nothing wrong, given the details of the situation. I give her credit for not backing down or disclosing details that may have hurt others.
Jordan should never be elected after using his status as a police officer to pull out a gun and discharge it in a drunken rage-filled incident, not to mention the racist blackface stunt that WSAR covered a few years back. We don’t need that on the Council.

Since when does breaking the law stop the political career of a Democrat? Pam broke the Sacrament of Marriage for which I am much more alarmed! Democrat Adulterers, destroying the family unit, since 10,000 BC. Pam is toast politically, she has brought too much attention and scrutiny to the council chambers. She should have been doing her Job of scrutinizing Government instead of acting like an egomaniac. She is not compatible with the position of Fall River City Councilor. She can always repent for the restoration of her Soul.
