These credentials are obviously better than Tom Stevenson's. Maybe she should have been appointed the City Executive.

She needs to send an inspector out to the Mayor's neighborhood. I took a walk around the Johnson Lake area for a change of scenery and saw multiple vacant properties in addition to many homes with grass at least 8 to 10 inches high Just another neighborhood going downhill fast.

She needs to order her code compliance officers to actually ENFORCE city code at Merrifield Apartments!
Standing water from leaks and runoff under our buildings is still causing this horrendous MOLD and roach problem and city inspectors refuse to inspect the sump pumps! They actually REFUSED to do their job! Meanwhile, people here are literally suffering health problems and NO ONE will help. Management just laughs when tenants complain. Floors are rotting and people have fallen through the mold rotted and termite eaten wood.
How about it Mrs. Phillips?

Jim Ireton doesn't make them enforce the code anymore unless he doesn't like someone.

What happened to the Slum Property of the Week?

Proves that Jim Ireton has been bought by the Slum Lords.

Neither one of them are qualified to hold their positions.
