[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having been on a committee with both Priddy and Sims, from my experience there is a huge difference between the two in terms of engagement and thoughtful input.

Priddy is well-informed, listens and engages with speakers and gives meaningful feedback. He seems to have really upped his involvement since his last run (when I was not compelled to vote for him.)

I don’t feel the same level of care and engagement from Sims. When I heard he was running, I was shocked because, to me, [b]he seems checked out of the committee[/b]. From what I have seen, I do not think he would be an effective SB member.[/quote]

Yes, it's weird, because he does put in the time with the volunteering with kids and stuff, and he applies for all these committees, but he doesn't engage with whatever the issues are. He doesn't offer any unique perspective or help the group problem solve. How is he going to be on a five-person board? I think he's going to be like James Lander, grandstanding about a narrow range of issues but otherwise not really helping them sort out policy. [/quote]

Oh, wait.  I mis-read the above.  SIMS - absolutely not!!!  My comments about not offering solutions but soliciting opinions and listening pertained to Priddy.  I agree with PP.
Sims is a status quo "big" talker.  He offers nothing, not for the Black community or any other community.[/quote]
