Jesse M. Luera
Norwalk city councilman running for re-election in March 2011.
Apparently there was a Mexican Independence Day 9/11 issue in 2010, but the media coverage was limited and all I can get is Google caches of the articles. I should like to find more details on that.[1] It does seem odd to schedule a celebration of Mexican Independence on a day which would normally focus on American patriotism. I can't imagine the city was unaware that this might be found offensive. What kinds of scheduling issues were there? Is this a regular thing? What were some thoughts from the council?
In December 2010, a Steve Lowe slated to run against Jesse in the upcoming election, appeared before the council appealing a citation for litter in his yard. Jesse M. Luera was present and voted, along with the others present, to deny the petition. He is cited as having stated: "we can't make exceptions. Can you clean up this stuff? We spend lots of money on property maintenance. We can’t have 150,000 people doing whatever they want to."[2]
