Why did they pull him over—Was he black, native, white, driving erratically—why?? Why wasn’t that in the article? He tested zero, so why? Police have been given the “right” but that comes with responsibility.

If this was below the 49th, we’d call Al and his followers Trumpers. There is a total “do as I say, not as I do attitude”. And Tanya and Bill are the Ivanka and Jared of our swamp.

I thought his first name was Al, but it’s obviously Donald J.

Al, you’ve been at it for years. You don’t even live in the Bay. Show some class and exit stage left. How much corrupt money do you need?

Who makes this “snow day” decision?. Are parents on the decision-making committee? I believe the decision is made by the bus company. That’s like the fox declaring the hen-house is safe. I drove in from Thorne this morning with absolutely zero issues. If there was an issue at
06:00, then issue a “snow day” advisory until 09:00 or so. It is so easy to release reality and responsibilities with the cry of “Safety First”.

The Mayor finding out about this at a regular meeting—unacceptable. He should be upset for sure.

This City Council and Trump have so much in common like ignore the people and pad the pockets of the friends of Al. Take the casino, this field itself at its origin, the upgrade of the Gardens and now this, (and of course there’s more like water towers but writing space is limited). As stated in previous comments, we are spending good money after bad. If we are stuck with this site, go with a proven, simple double-rink design incorporating change rooms etc for the initial flaws. Secrecy, paybacks and payouts, Council should be ashamed.

Why the need to close the highway in both directions for that long? Police are abusing the “Safety First” excuse.
