  1. Go, Mrs. Buck, go! Thanks for keeping us up to date on what's happening. It's obvious that you weren't the cause of the last council's disfunction! Keep fighting the good fight.

  2. I just heard about this from a friend at ASA. Unbelievable. What does our new mayor think she's doing? It's frightening. I have never left a comment before so i hope that this works. Don't change, Ev.
