Regardless of how much their quality of life suffers? <br /><br />My only regret throughout this whole ordeal is that Jerry Moore did not invite some of the young thugs hanging-out on the street corners causing problems and bringing down the quality of life for those lower middle-class citizens trying to enjoy their homes in Jordan, out for one of the many forays to dining establishments he made during his tenure as the E.D. at JACC. At least then the residents of Jordan could feel that something meaningfull was done with all the PNP funds that were wasted...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143409168229764050.post-72726082476461014532009-05-22T16:26:20.366-05:002009-05-22T16:26:20.366-05:00The next time Jerry Moore pitches 'Poverty Pimp' s...The next time Jerry Moore pitches 'Poverty Pimp' style barbs at you: ask him how can he live his life with his 'pants on fire'?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
