Councilman Jay Lin has reported a total Indebtedness of $23,264.00. Yes. TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

This is from his prior 2015 campaign. 

Therefore, any donations or campaign contributions Jay Lin collects, he can keep / allocate toward his debt from the election 4 years ago.

At the end of this four-year term, taxpayers of Johns Creek will have paid Jay Lin $60K.

He was elected to Post 2 in December 2015.

Jay Lin's tenure as a Johns Creek Councilman has been conflicted with him speaking out of both sides of his mouth. That is if he speaks at all. He campaigned on No Taxes Increases and Reduced Spending. Yet voted for every tax increase that came his way. Jay Lin embraced big government bloated contracts and increased spending. Every budget under him has grown every year.

Jay Lin owns Pacific Ventures, Inc a Real Estate Development company. In addition, Jay has also been mention as a partner with Wei Dao restaurant. It is located on Medlock Bridge Rd.

These financials are from the first of the 2019 Johns Creek Campaign Disclosures. There will be several more by the year's end.

Finally, there is 6 City Council members and 1 Mayor for the City of Johns Creek.

In conclusion, 3 Seats are up for Re-Election this November 2019. Qualifying is in August 2019.

The Georgia Record was relaunched in June of 2021 and has been extremely successful fighting corruption in the state named after King George of England. The original paper was started in 1899 and published into the early 20th century. In 2020, CDM (Creative Destruction Media) acquired Johns Creek Post and brought back The Georgia Record to better represent the state rather than just Johns Creek News.
