<div dir="auto">A friend in my youth after a difficult and disappointing vote outcome quoth "America gets the government it deserves." Decades on it appears to still be true, and maybe something to think about...most of all for those who first (as well as later) endorsed or voted for representatives that led to the current outcome, and who did not serve the will or the future interests of the people who voted for (or last night stood before) them, as their proxy voice in decision making. There were other people willing to serve, and if they had been in those seats perhaps the outcome would have been different. Lauds to those reps who did listen to the voice of constituents and placed their interests and values first last night.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">D</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Nov 21, 2023, 10:19 AM Mary Molina via INC-list <<a href="mailto:inc-list@lists.deltaforce.net">inc-list@lists.deltaforce.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>

<p>That's pretty simple. There are certain rich white men who feel entitled to special treatment and demand that we give it to them (maybe you can think of some examples). Such men always get special treatment as long as they can find just enough people in

<div>The two new council people were there in chambers the whole time. But I doubt they could keep up with Johnson's rattled-off numbers. Instead of conferring with colleagues, she sat in her seat preparing all of what she said. She is the puppeteer and while
she will not be on council after last night, she has promised she will still "run things".

<div> </div>
<div>And lots of people left last night saying that they would have voted differently if they had seen what they saw last night. Jim Anthony was brilliant in postponing the vote until after the election.
