Boy this should be an interesting meeting. Wish I did not have to work, otherwise I would be sitting in front of my computer with a bowl of popcorn.
Can’t wait to to see Cornhole Cornell turn red when he doesn’t get the answers to support his political agenda.
Speaking of Cornhole, ever notice how he stares off into space during the invocation or how Byerly seems to disappear? It shows their true character.
Here’s the Reader’s Digest version of the meeting.
Local leadership wants to instill martial law.
“Wacko” Saco suggested having someone other than law enforcement shut down gatherings at private residences to prevent escalation of potentially volatile situations. That’s intelligent, send an unprotected, unarmed person to stop potentially inebriated individuals from having fun. I understand now what failed attorneys in Gainesville can do…become a city commissioner.
Cornhole Cornell still turns red when he doesn’t get answers from medical experts, sorry, anyone, supporting his political agenda.
Harvey “Two Face” still trying to do something but even he can’t figure that out.
Simmons needs to learn to take notes.
Johnson wants to know if she will be able to attend high school football games.
Arreola still needs to grow up.
Hayes-Santos doesn’t want anyone to have fun on weekends if he can’t.
In summary, throw all these commissioners in a bucket, close your eyes and you’ll still pull one out that is filled with hypocrisy and looking to fill their own selfish needs.
