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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
