Jackson Council President Mordechai Burnstein gave TLS the following statement on Chris Pollak’s win:
“Congratulations to Mr. Pollack on your big win last night. I am looking forward to hearing from you on your ideas on how to make Jackson a better place to live work and retire and I am looking forward to working together over the next year.”

Please DO work together for the best interests of all jackson residents
I don’t know Chris well, but he seems to be angry and bitter
He is not angry and bitter.
Do not believe the lies and smears that were unfortunately made up about him. Most would have buckled and fallen, but Chris stood his ground and did not back down.
His campaign was fully against over-development. Was he enthusiastic in his message? Yes. Angry and bitter? No.

Chris is a good man. He’s going to do a great job making sure that Jackson is a great place to live, work, and serve G-d!
Mordechai Keep up the good work! you mamish have the right look for this job!!
I think karate kid Pollack will be an asset. It’s good to have balance on the council, and I think that behind his somewhat strange personality he’s actually pretty smart and coherent…
