Please vote for Jim Lomako on Tuesday, April 17 Why are leading cartoonists supporting Jim Lomako for Pasadena City Council?
Noted District 2 artists like Leland Myrick and Tony Millionaire are voting for Jim for the same reasons as everyone else. They want Pasadena to keep its historic charm and not become another overbuilt LA suburb. They treasure the authentic over the artificial. They want their kids to grow up in a real community where people of all colors and styles are welcome.
They know that Jim can be trusted to make important decisions on the basis of those shared values and not to pay off political debts or for anyone’s personal profit.
As cartoonists, they know that sometimes it is a personal responsibility to stand up and announce that the emperor is wearing no clothes.
- When the Gold Line platforms were built with faulty concrete, Jim made sure that they were fixed, although that meant opposing the incumbent council member.
- When a wealthy property owner wanted to take over the end of Madia Street, Jim helped the neighbors to stop the give-away, even though it was in another district.
- When city leaders failed to protect architectural gems, like the Raymond Theater, the Greene & Greene Herkimer Arms, or homes in a landmark district, Jim came to the defense of our heritage.
They know that Jim will fight for better schools, environmental responsibility, open space, and to use Pasadena’s success to help those who are less fortunate.
