Setting the record straight on Troy Jackson | Letter

A letter responding to criticism of Troy Jackson argues that negative TV ads and mailers are wasting money and spreading rumors. The writer addresses allegations involving Jackson and intimidation of women, saying an incident when Jackson was 19 and his partner Lana—together for about 40 years—has stated that he was not violent toward her. The letter also discusses Jackson’s Social Security proposal, arguing it would target wealthy earners rather than “ordinary people.” It cites a U.S. News and World Report figure that only income up to $184,500 is subject to Social Security payroll taxes. The author adds that Jackson used a dismissive “Oh, come on” tone during a debate.
