Since “Local Progress” admits to Paying Porters way for several Trips, If Porter starts pushing “Local Progress” agendas on the Commission, wouldn’t that be considered a Bribe?
I saw the Video, Chedderick Thomas went there to MURDER someone, it was planned so, shouldn’t he be facing the Needle?
Yes, Law Enforcement CAN take more action to protect pedestrians around campus. They can start writing Tickets for J-Walking and for Stepping Off the Curb when Cars are coming. I don’t drive around Campus that often because every time I do, some Student will dart out and run across the Road in the Middle of the Block and I have to jam on Brakes to avoid hitting them or they are too busy on their Phone Texting or Reading a Text and don’t look up and just walk right out into Traffic. I lay on the Horn and hit Brakes only for them to give me that look as if I was the one in the wrong. I have seen many Students staggering from a Bar either walking Home or to another Bar and wonder how they don’t get hit by a Car. I think it is more on the Pedestrian than it is on anyone else, they need to be aware of their surroundings and what’s going on around them and always walk towards Oncoming Traffic so you can see what the Vehicles are doing.
You are right TikTok Our Government can NOT make you sell the Company or change your ways BUT, it can Ban TikTok from the US, after all, China Bans many Social Media Web Sites and App’s from their Country.
Porter is far-left wacko and will continue, with Pizza Boy by her side, pushing a socialist agenda. The city’s conservative residents fled to the suburbs to get away from Crime and City Taxes. The next step is leaving the state.
I would really love a $45,000.00 raise.
Matlow is a self-admitted progressive and no progressive wants to lower property taxes. The voters that support him based on that statement are gullible low-information voters.
Chedderick Thomas is just another example of the black crime problem we face. I blame politicians for making it financially beneficial to have out of wedlock births and join the welfare ranks. Because working for a living isn’t as nice as welfare.
P.S. Calvin Riley, SR would not have appealed his DUI conviction had he been paying for his defense out of pocket. Tax dollars provided his initial defense and appeal.
I guess the Pro-Hamas Progressive and her puppet masters couldn’t figure out how to work the books. And they call everyone else corrupt. Like I always say; No matter how you arrange the letters D E M O C R A T… it will always spell HYPOCRITE.
