Hope, thank you for your comments and giving us hope that people will wake up and vote these folks out. We need some conservatives to step up and run for these offices. Add the Sheriff and Supt. to your list.
Breaking News!!
Two more shootings near Stadium where City and County Commissioners illegally misusing infrastructure funds needed for law enforcement to protect citizens are being diverted to the stadium for repairs
County Commissioner Nick Maddox and Mayor John Dailey would rather fortify their re-election campaigns with the town and gown crowd to garner contributions than protect the citizens they took an oath to serve. Vote them out!
@ Thomas…
And don’t forget the CSC (Children’s Services Council) whereby the only thing they have accomplished (and a misuse of tax dollars again)…giving $120,000 a year to a former Gillum campaign staffer.
How messed up is that!
But Hope!!! We are getting a Performing Arts Center! That should fix our crime and parenting problem!
Breaking News!
Another teenager dead and the second murder in 24 hours in the same area only blocks away from where City and County Commissioners voted to illegally divert Infrastructure Funds to a stadium instead of investing in the part of the community that needs it most….
Vote the Commissioners and MAYOR out who voted for this illegal misuse of taxpayer dollars. They are thinking more about their re-election campaigns than the citizens they took an oath to serve.
May God have mercy on their souls.
If I were guessing, it would be that he waited to file a lawsuit, maybe trying to work it out without one, or maybe because he needed some time to find out how permanent the damages might be and therefore what he was actually owed.
DEFUND THE PUBLIC INDOCTRINATION SYSTEM
One: Why did it take 5 Years to settle Mr. Asencio’s Case?
Two: The program provides in-depth automotive-related training and instruction at Lively. Will they be bringing back Auto Body repair? I hope so.
Three: Back when I was in School, the Parents were allowed to come in and sit in the Classes their Kids were in. Last I heard, that was no longer allowed, maybe THAT should come back.
