“Jolanda Jones went to City Hall to give all citizens a voice. But it’s her own voice that has been heard the loudest.” Houston Chronicle, June 26, 2008

Jolanda Jones~Self Serving “Just when real improvements are finally being made… a grandstanding city councilwoman threw a wrench in the effort.” Houston Chronicle, September 6, 2009 “Anyone who has ever attended a Houston City Council session will readily concede that Jolanda Jones is a disruptive factor. Her oratory prolongs even the simplest of issues. It remains to be seen if the voters tire of her self-indulgent rhetoric or if they prefer substantive representation.” – Rick Dickson, Houston Chronicle, August 11, 2008

Jolanda Jones~Divisive “You imply that I am not really ‘black’ because I do not share your biased point of view,” Caynon wrote. “I do not know where to begin in responding, except to say that you and the race-baiting opportunists criticizing HFD deserve one another. I am indeed interested in keeping my job, and the choice between standing with the men and women of the HPFFA or standing with you is not a difficult one. Your insults are unwarranted, ignorant and damaging.” Houston Chronicle, July 24, 2009

“Jeff Caynon, who is AfricanAmerican, said in the letter that [ Jolanda Jones] crossed a line in the meeting when she referred to him as a “house Negro” only interested in keeping his job.” Houston Chronicle, July 24, 2009

“What makes it safe for us to respond in neighborhoods where police have to call for backup is that people know we’re coming to help. The minds of the public are being poisoned by people who are just being irresponsible.” – Jeff Caynon, President HPFFA, in response to Jolanda Jones’ attacks on the Houston Fire Department. Houston Chronicle, August 5, 2009

Jolanda Jones~Incendiary “Gary Blankinship, president of the Houston Police Officers’ Union, said, ‘I’m not impressed with either her conduct or allegations.’”

“It seems as if she injected herself into a situation without knowing any of the facts, made assumptions that were false and then was critical of officers who were doing their jobs,” he added. “Interfering with police officers in the execution of an arrest creates an unsafe situation for officers out there.” Houston Chronicle, August 9, 2009

Jolanda Jones~Out-of-Control “I’d like to publicly apologize to (Fusco) for all that he’s been put through these last few weeks. There’s been a lot of drama, for lack of a better word.” Houston Chronicle, September 17, 2009

“Council Member Jones’ actions forced BARC’s Gerry Fusco to work for two weeks without pay.”

Jolanda Jones~Fiscally Irresponsible “Councilwoman Jolanda Jones read an impassioned statement opposing the City Council budget cuts, which will take $6,170.75 from the approximately $385,000 budgeted for each council member. The remaining $379,000 is still about $7,000 higher than fiscal year 2009.” Houston Chronicle, June 18, 2009

“Perhaps the most flamboyant expenditure was by At-large Councilwoman Jolanda Jones, who used $1,600 from her office account to re-upholster six chairs in her favorite color, pink.” Houston Chronicle, August 28, 2008

“I got to be here for six years. I wanted it to match. If you didn’t notice, I like to match,” Jolanda Jones, Houston Chronicle, August 25, 2008 It is time for change, Houstonians deserve a substantive leader they can count on…
