Apparently, as a rabid reader of my blog, Washougal City Councilman and failed congressional/legislative candidate Jon Russell has been missing a great many of the city council meetings where, oddly enough, he's expected to show up. Clearly, he thinks so little of those who were fooled into voting for him that he fails miserably in his job of representing them.
When I found out about Russell's new gig, I indicated that he'd be resigning. I had presumed it would be sooner because, well, after all, there's no way that someone like Russell would be much more interested in keeping a title then he would making sure that those he fooled would actually be REPRESENTED by someone... would he?
Since Russell scammed his gig going around the region's college campuses, he's managed to blow off most of the city council meetings which, as a consequence of his position on the city council, you might expect him to, well attend.
Russell, who pretty much has shown over the years that he only really cares about himself; now, apparently, views his unfortunate constituents as mere annoyances, routinely blowing off the city council meetings he was elected to attend.
When not continuing to make up fake identities on Facebook, (And he's still doing that... with many of his multiple fake identities being removed from the Columbian because Russell's too stupid to understand that with each post he spews, along comes his ip address) Russell continues to buff his resume' by going around from campus to campus talking the pre-life goal.
An admirable message... but couldn't they find someone better to deliver it?
Jon Russell Watch was developed to, well, keep an eye on Jon Russell. But he has to be around TO watch. And when it comes to his elected duties in Washougal?
He's invisible.
At some point, the city council will have to act. Why Russell doesn't have the decency to resign so someone can be appointed to take his place who actually takes this job seriously, unless it's because I said he would resign?
Well, we all know the answer to that.

Jon Russell and the way he conducts himself, his association with Madore, the Republican conservative take-over of Washougal through the put-up candidates for our Council, is terrible. I am just ashamed I have this going on in my town. I won't feel right again until that man is gone from here.
ReplyDelete"At some point, the city council will have to act"
ReplyDeletedream on....
I don't like Jon either..but explain the conservative take over a bit more. Didn't we have a fair and free election where people choose who they wanted? I think we did.
ReplyDeleteExplain Madore's money, who he backed with max contributions and explain why a certain church was involved to the max in a public election.
DeleteOne does wonder....
DeleteThat is exactly why it is so disappointing. The people of Washougal stayed uninformed. If you can convince members of 1 church that these women will vote the way Jon wants them to. IE: All GOP talking points, Anti _choice, Anti- union, Anti health-care. You have enough votes to win. And the people of Washougal are the big losers...
ReplyDeleteVery true. I was very disappointed with the people of Washougal. By not voting, by letting others vote- they allowed this to happen. In time this community will come back to center- but for now, because of Jon Russell, Connie Jo and Caryn, with Madore's money, Washougal's government has turned very hard to the right.
DeleteAnd I thought Washougal was Non-Partisan- representing all the people.
Looking at his latest Columbian posting and then trying to look closer at his profile, it appears that Jon Russell is now reappearing as Steven Williams. This kid just doesn't learn.
ReplyDeleteAnd another no show tonight, 5-14-12.
ReplyDeleteInteresting announcement from Mrs. Russell last week about their future. Surprised it has not made your blog yet.
ReplyDeleteLooks like little Jon is up to his old antics again in Washougal.

Interesting comments last night about councilman (soon to be "former" councilman?) Russell. More interesting that you don't seem interested in his leaving.
ReplyDelete"Moving Sale" signs at 1531 D Street, Washougal. Finally!
ReplyDeleteNow I heard this here rumer- that Jon boy may be packing his bags...
ReplyDeleteAnd now, he is gone!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting who will replace him on Washougal's council...
ReplyDeleteIf it someone fair, unbiased, and works as a facilitator- great. But if it's just another right-wing wingnut- not so good.
People I know are going to be looking right at Jennifer very closely on this one...
