There should also be criminal complaints filed with the magistrate in these situations. Criminal warrants should be prosecuted against a biological male undressing in a girls locket room with girls present, exposing himself and watching them for 1) indecent exposure, and 2) peeing tom/. Lock them up! And why would the principal who allowed that not be an accessory to those crimes?

Biden officials allowed illegal aliens covered in gang tattoos, TdA, MS13, and others to enter out country through their open borders. America citizens pay the price of the resulting crime. Biden era immigration officials need to be prosecuted.

It is inconceivable to me that our local governments do not seek applicants for top management positions from the private sector. When I served in the Jim Martin administration in state government, almost all of our top management personal got their management experience in the private sector, NOT the public sector, and it worked fine. The bigger the pool of applicants for a local management job, the more choices the governing body has.

I think Mr. Melton should be considered for the city council post. But with all due respect for Mr. Melton, I think Mrs. Clark was the next highest vote getter in the recent election.

Bubba, you have actually made a salient political point.

Nick Fritz was ready to rip the bandaid off the waste, the corruption, and the abject governmental ignorance that has haunted the City of Washington for decades.

Roland, are you going to be that guy? Can you supplant Nick and fend off the Leftist fools, who sincerely struggle with reality?

We need what is real running the City of Washington, because that quality has been sorely lacking for far too long.

If Washington is a City of Hate, when/how did that happen?
Was it always here? Did the internet reveal it,or did Facebook.
Facebook made it possible for birds of a feather to spread their gossip for good or bad. People living in a bubble can become very self-righteous.
Why are old people, who r growing older, so upset about a glorious celebration of young people getting married, who may decide to settle down in Washington? Does that really make them miserable to witness? I say live and let live. Show a little humanity. Maybe compromise a little. Maybe one week day event and one weekend event would be fair?
If some of these ppl would take a look at the conditions some of us have to accept surrounding our homes they would be ashamed of themselves for being so stingy.
If these beautiful vintage homes cant b maintained then what? A future ghetto?
Its possible u know...Washington isnt growing...but a
welcoming attitude might b the cure.
Hey City Manager, can u explain reality to th crabs.

When Perrault ran for council, he told us he was on the tax cut team. Now he seems to have switched teams to the tax-and-spend team, coached by Comrade Tyre. If Perrault is to have any future credibility, he needs a quick course correction back to the course he assured voters he would take. He has been lambasting his own team mate while buddying up to the coach of the opposing team. Can he spell B-E-N-E-D-I-C-T A-R-N-O-L-D ?

3.3% inflation while at war, a war that restricts the distribution of oil, is a good number.

Paying a little more right now for goods is not such a bad thing, and the very least we citizens can do to contribute.

The despicable power play being tossed around by the Democrats is to have the legislature reduce the retirement age of Supreme Court justices to something like 52, so they can create vacancies they can fill with their own political hacks. That tells you about all you need to know about today's Democrat Party,
