Is This The Person We Want "Leading" The 3rd Ward?

The self-titled "proven leader" Shershah Mizan is once again running for a seat on the Common Council.  I recently received a mailing from him that also appears to have been mailed to the several hundreds of residents in the third ward, a list of which is available to all candidates from the County Board of Elections.  The envelope, with a 63-cent first-class stamp on it, contained an 8x11 sheet of paper he stamped as a "sample ballot," showing how to vote for him in the upcoming primary.  The mailing also contained a slick 9-inch x 4-inch flyer with his picture and listing all his supposed qualities and objectives.  The dude is spending some cash to get back on the council.  It struck me as desperation, not true interest.

It's laughable to think that Shershah will, or can, "work to provide greater public safety, better infrastructure, more jobs in Hudson, increased revenues and lower taxes."  How exactly do you plan on doing all these same things that you failed to do for 4 years during your last stint on the council, Mr. Mizan?  Do you now have a magic wand of some sort that you did not have then?

On the back of the flyer there is this:  "Shershah has ideas like creating controlled intersections and adding crosswalks...".  Truly novel ideas, too!  

Years ago during at least two council meetings, Shershah made feeble attempts to get DPW Superintendent Robert Perry to install crosswalks on Prospect Avenue at Rossman Avenue. Perry practically laughed at him, and the crosswalks never materialized.

Really, Shershah?

Then there is this, further on in the flyer: "... and improve parks and public spaces in the 3rd Ward."  This morning on my walk through the 7th Street Park, located in the 3rd Ward, I counted 5 lawn signs of Shershah's.  He had no problem with placing one of them directly in the middle of the main lawn.  The guy obviously really cares about public spaces.

Shershah Mizan is not a leader, let alone a "proven" or "dedicated" one.  Plus, we don't need "leaders" (whatever that means) on the council, just people who are paying attention to what is going on in the city.  

When Shershah Mizan was on the council, he rarely had anything to contribute.  Since he left the council 2 years ago, I have never once seen him attend an Informal Common Council meeting, neither in person nor by Zoom.  How's that for being truly "dedicated"?
