I feel like I should be in attendance for tonight’s council meeting (the committee meetings are starting now as I type this from home, in fact). However, I am in recovery from a stomach virus I contracted over the weekend and feel it would be irresponsible of me to go...

I’m going to try to make the City Council meeting tonight. Might be late as I am trying to help my kids with their homework. Was planning on going to the School Board meeting, but changed my plans when I learned that Councilman Fraizer was resigning from the Council Se...

I will not be in attendance at Council tonight, because I want to spend one of the last days of summer vacation with my kids before school starts back up this week. However, I hope all of you reading this are able to attend and keep council honest.
