Parker had to answer in the manner that he did. He does not have much vision other than general statements about any growing, small community. He has to sell himself because most CV voters do not know a darn thing about him. So he put out a short, personal Resume, rather than any thoughtful, specific, meaningful plan about CV’s future in the next four years. Parker is a carpetbagger who moved to District 4 in order to run for this seat on the Board. He ran for Oakland’s City Council and lost miserably. He had no vision for the city then. Most residents know he is just looking for power, rather than doing the hard work of community organizing, policy research, tough decision making, balancing competing needs, and constituent services. Parker needs to stay in the business community…he needs to stay in his lane!!
