A disappointing revelation

Wed., June 5, 2019

I am saddened to see Nadine Woodward reveal the full measure of her character by posting the video of a fight between a guard and a library patron.

I already had reservations about her skill level to be a mayor, since her job consisted of reading from a teleprompter, not formulating her own ideas.

We need a mayor who is willing to conceive and promote expanded affordable housing for all our community’s citizens, not someone who vilifies humans for being house less.

Our librarians rock! They are committed to open access for all people to the public treasure of knowledge. We certainly do not want a leader who is simply a snob.
