WHAT CAN WE LEARN from Erwin Jackson?
Nine years ago he began attending all the City Commission meetings and calling out corruption.
He was labeled a crazy gadfly by the politicians and their friends at the newspaper.
But it turns out he was the only one who was reporting the truth. One man standing up against the crony racketeers in City Hall.
First they ignored him. Then they mocked him, asking if he had anything better to do with his life. Then they fought him, even putting a private investigator on him.
Now Dr. Erwin Jackson is finally winning. Talk about vindication.
We can learn a lot from him about dogged determination. About tenacity. About courage. About honor.
His constant rattling of the cage at City Hall caught the attention of the FBI a few years ago.
They launched an undercover sting operation that led to the arrest of former Mayor and City Commission
