“Occupy” may have gone into a new phase following the violence provoked by Oakland and ATL police. Hopefully this display of civil unrest can be satisfied through sustainable and equitable responses from government rather than quelled by heavy handed tactics. Mayors in Oak and ATL need to get on the right side of this issue and enable peaceful demonstrations.

On Thurs. Sept. 8, Vallejo City Council candidate Johnathan Logan participated in the public-friendly Candidates Day Forum at Touro University. The evening event was held by the Business Alliance of Vallejo, Vallejo Chamber of Commerce and the Solano Association and moderated by Chamber Chairman of the Board of Directors Michael Coan. Logan seemed confident and excited to speak directly to voters.

A product of Vallejo and a graduate of Leadership Vallejo, at the forum Logan proved that he understands the importance of education. When asked how he would work with the Vallejo Unified School District, Logan cited his motto of “Partner, Promote, Inspire.” “We need to promote the good things that they (schools) are doing,” said Logan. “People focus on the 40% dropout rate. But we also do have excellent students.”

One of the reoccurring themes of the Candidates Day Forum was business rejuvenation. Logan’s goal is attract outside businesses by managing Vallejo’s cleanliness and improving the city’s public transportation and educational systems. In addition to Logan is in favor of Measure B. “I consider it an investment,” said Logan “We need to put it in roads, our cops, youth development and economic development.”

Logan also expressed his goal of improve the Vallejo Waterfront. “I believe the waterfront is an untapped asset,” said Logan. “Development can increase waterfront activity which will then trickle to downtown. This is what development is about.”

During the forum, Logan committed his support of Solano 360 Project, solving the disproportionate amount of affordable housing, Measure C with proper zooming, and reducing the amount of crime by pinpointing the exact areas with the highest crime rate.

Logan is ready to complete his campaign and bring his leadership style to the City Council to create a cohesive city. “I treat people with dignity and respect,” said Logan. “This is key to building relationships and to then build a city.”
