Spending the $3 million in bond revenues, to be done right--to leverage grant and loan money by providing required cash matches the city wouldn't have on hand otherwise--requires a lot of planning and coordination.
The godfather has two godsons: Elon Musk, his court jester, and JD Vance, his thinker. Together, they give the godfather the appearance of majestic distance as they replace the state nationally and internationally with a corporate business.

I was deeply impressed by new Truth or Consequences City Manager Gary Whitehead's response to my question on whether the city was violating the Open Meetings Act. It changed a misconception I had held to for years.
The City of T or C's third referendum on the purchase and renovation of a police building will not be held, but the people were snookered anyway.
