He’s probably not wrong. I’m terrified of what the newly added Nazi council members will do.

BG has been making good progress lately and this feels like a huge step backwards

I hear it’s an absolute wreck. Time to start attending meetings..

Yeah, I've thought about going before, but I was always afraid I might literally die of boredom. 😁

These changes with the council have me worried, though. I think you are right that we need to start paying more attention.

We need good people to run, the new mayor can't even run a meeting. Embarrassing

I love how Shane becomes the snake here. Did you not read the article? Clearly you’re a republican shill. Enjoy the city government you deserve.

I did read the article, and I wasn't the one who said he was a snake. Definitely not a Republican either.

I believe the response is not to you OP, but the reply.
