The Incumbent, Our Major Hoople

Jonathan Jordan has been an un-energetic but dependable paperweight for the Republican bosses in the NC General Assembly. Jordan has saluted on command and voted as he's told and burped his dessert with the best of 'em.

But you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a list of benefits, problems solved, positive initiatives that could be linked in any appreciable way to Jonathan Jordan. No, he's voted for budgets that hurt the state parks in his own district, that crippled local protections of air and water, that weakened the health of public schools. We certainly do remember him for the loss of Boone's extraterritorial jurisdiction, which for us means he's definitely more pain than gain for the 93rd House District.
