re: #352 Syrah

Have you all heard about Ron Sims?

I’ve met Sims at a dinner and he is a friendly smart person. He does have leadership ability. From my view his weaknesses are.

1. He is weak on property rights. He all too easily wanted to do away with land rights of people in rural areas when it got in his way.
2. He expects loyalty but doesn’t give it.
3. He failed to establish integrity in an election system. He tried to throw money at something that wasn’t broken in the first place and then broke it with the changes.
4. He likes expensive projects where he can throw money away. (soundtransit) (viaduct tunnel)
5. Doesn’t support the Boy Scouts.
6. He is for this racial and social justice BS.

On the plus side, he is a tireless worker who can get things done. And has basic respect for the everyday person. Something a lot of politicians are missing. He has had his car stolen. He works well with law enforcement people.
