Now here is a City event likely to be Open, Accountable and Transparent as well as fun. See all the politicians there? Or will they be hanging at McLevy only? Time will tell.
“Open, Accountable and Transparent.”
Bravo sir, bravo.
I’m sure Steve Auerbach will be in the parade carrying a Finch reelection sign.
Ron, would you have laughed if I marched in that parade carrying a confederate flag? I am just curious. Why you had to even mention my name speaks volumes.
Uhhh, yuck.
Before I leave for the Finch announcement, I did want to mention I will at McLevy Green tomorrow at 6-ish and I was totally unaware of this parade until an hour ago and of course I will walk to City Lights to see a fun parade where the stereotypes are embraced with pride. You would have thought the largest city in the state had a pride parade 10 years ago, but hey better late than never.
