Christine Jason: Ray training to be a politician, not a leader like Zoslocki

My definition of a politician is someone who makes unrealistic promises to the voters while attacking his opponent as a “politician.” Tyler Ray says Modesto needs more police officers, but doesn’t tell you that since Bill Zoslocki got elected the number of Modesto police officers increased by about 50 officers and the city was able to stop the bleeding away of trained officers to other cities.

That is why the Modesto Police Offices support Bill Zoslocki.

Politician Ray told homeless advocates he wants the city to supply $7,500 sheds for each of the homeless. Where would these tiny houses go? Our alleys, parks, street corners, maybe our front yards – or how about downtown? What the heck?! Get real Tyler. You’re the least-qualified candidate to lead the city.

Christine Jason, Modesto
