Before the vote, Councilwoman Gretchen Ezernack opposed the resolution, questioning the reasoning behind it and expressing concerns that it could delay city projects. Previously, any council member had until 3:00 PM to add an item to the agenda. Emergency add-ons were typically discussed in meetings where the public could hear and then vote on them. Now, the chairperson will decide if an item will be placed on the agenda, which appears to be on solid legal grounds. Some may view this as a power play by certain council members, potentially...

Imagine if you're on a football team and the championship is at stake. Even though it is a back/forth game, victory can still be yours if you play hard (not conservative) and aggressive. That's exactly what Democrats need to do if they want to win by rallying around their star player who happens to be President Joe Biden. Instead of going on offense as in football, they are letting the defense (Republicans) dictate how the game is being played by putting up the idea that Biden is finished as a leader. The problem with Democrats in the race for...
