I'm headed to my Town Council meeting where, miraculously, they are holding a "Listening Session for Constituent Concerns about the current federal administration" !!!
I'm headed to my Town Council meeting where, miraculously, they are holding a "Listening Session for Constituent Concerns about the current federal administration" !!!
It was not well attended, but of the 18 or so townspeople there, in the end all but 3 spoke (and those 3 were high school students who chickened out at the last minute! :)
If there was anyone in the room who supported Trump, they kept very quiet. It was clear our Mayor and 4 of the 5 Council members present were as alarmed as the rest of us are. The best news was that the mayor promised to do this twice a month for the foreseeable future.
Good to know. I heard one of my professional colleagues say on a bus in Portugal that people were trying to assinate the wrong Presidential candidate ( Ie Trump) . I was so offended I could hardly speak. This person is a healthcare professional in Boone.
Wasn't at all. Four members of the Council (which is all but one) spoke as citizens, not council members, and they were as alarmed as the rest of us. As for "names on a list," most of us are extremely open about our feelings and we have had 2 very large rallies and will have another June 14. Let's don't get paranoid here! (until we have to!)

Please get back to us on how it went down!

What town?
Boone, NC
Good for Boone!
I thought Boone was a Republican stronghold. Everyone IтАЩve met from there a has been a Republican- most of them MAGA ЁЯдо
Nope. Boone is a university town -- liberal. There are quite a few Republicans in the area, but Watauga County always goes blue because of Boone.

--but if the town council has earmuffs on.....
Hope it isn't a ploy to get progressives out of the woodwork and put their names
on a list.

Also, the mayor told us they will hold these sessions twice a month for the foreseeable future.
