I read with amusement comments on forums and in the Portsmouth Daily Times that a Mr. Carlton Cave came to Portsmouth City Council and stated that he didn't believe that Portsmouth Mayor Jim Kalb was a racist but rather someone who didn't care about the black community in Portsmouth. How wrong you are Mr. Cave.
Portsmouth Mayor Jim Kalb was raised on Jackson Avenue in Portsmouth, Ohio. During his teenage years and into his early adult life, Mayor Kalb was a member of a gang called the Jackson Street Gang. This gang consisted of racist individuals that lived on or about Jackson Avenue in Portsmouth, Ohio. This gang swore a "lifetime oath" that they would do everything in their power to impair or destroy the lives of members of the African American Community in the Portsmouth area.
Members of the Jackson Street Gang included Jim Kalb, Bruce Kalb, (brother of the Mayor), Ron Feazell, Gary Shepherd, Larry Shepherd, Larry Huffman, Carl Bias, Scott Briggs, Ted Baer and other individuals that lived in this area of Portsmouth. These individuals would hang out around the corner of Jackson and Brown Streets on many Friday nights when football season was going on and attack automobiles driven by individuals that lived in Farley Square. Many African Americans were physically assaulted in their attempts to travel on foot to watch football games thanks to these thugs.
A review of the criminal court records in Portsmouth and Scioto County will reveal that many of these men were charged with criminal activity on numerous occasions as juveniles, teenagers, and young adults. Mayor Kalb has many arrests on his record.
How many African Americans have been hired by Mayor Kalb? It won't take long to count them up because we can't find anyone. Even contracts for minorities are contracts that were rolled over from former Mayor Greg Bauer's administration. Mayor Kalb is still honoring his lifetime commitment to his gang affiliation. While this gang was not the Bloods or the Crips they had similar values of hatred that they live by.
Is it any wonder why Mayor Kalb took back McKinley Pool and now wants to sell it off? He is honoring his commitment to his gang affiliation. What would be better than ensuring that the youth of the African American Community had no where to play this summer? Maybe Mayor Kalb is hoping that this would infuriate many of the folks that live in and around Farley Square to the point that they would move out of Portsmouth. That would be a big feather in the cap of this racist mayor.
More on Mayor Kalb's gang affiliation later.
