JAY SCHENIRER is a fraud. He brags: “I ran a successful business.” To be accurate, he should add for voters: “into the ground.” He has been a failure in virtually everything he has laid his hands on. His first business was a pasta place. It failed. Next, he took on the food service at the Sterling Hotel. The owners hated him and kicked him out. Then he merged with the successful Food for Thought restaurant. There, as the Chief Financial officer, in charge of budgets, he ran the business into the ground and then walked out, leaving huge debt including tens of thousands of delinquent state and federal taxes. A once successful business – before Jay got involved – had to close and deal with the debt. He went on to the Sacramento Food Bank to, he says, do good–not escape his failure in the private business world. He left that job under circumstances no one seems to want to talk about. Then there is CASA and the debt he left behind at the Sac. School District. And this is the guy who wants to oversee the City’s money? I wouldn’t trust him to accurately price a BLT sandwich. John M.

Thank you Mr. Poswall for this information. Many of us had no idea just how unsavory a character Jay Schenirer really is and was. He certainly seems the type willing to sell his soul to the highest bidder, and certainly that opportunity will come as he enables KJ’s powergrabs, both through a resurgence of the unconstitutional SMI, and now, in overseeing the privatization/charterization/mayoralization of public education in Sacramento. Thank you for your potent insights – hopefully they will enlighten voters to send this jerk packing rather than seating him on the city council. This certainly makes Patrick Kennedy look like the far more optimal candidate for that district, and I hope he wins… LESS

Jay Schenirer is a liar and sidesteps the whole CASA fiasco. He obviously is suffering from convenient memory loss and it’s almost amusing that Laura Bruno, who’s one of the chief benefactors of the CASA deal, has put Schenirer front and center when this whole sticking mess was put into operation. To see that wannabee King Kevin Johnson endorses Schenirer is no surprise because that’s who helped him hijack Sac High for the charter school. Birds of a feather stick together. Let’s hope the Sacto electorate can be smarter this time and reject Schenirer, reject all of Kevin Johnson’s choices, because to do otherwise is just asking for more corruption. LESS
