I'm a lifelong Pats fan and Macklemore is right and Kraft is wrong Unrelated but I saw him put on a hell of a show back in like 2012 or 2013 out in LA. Glad he's been speaking out about this
My biggest takeaway from the Kate Toomey accident is concern over what standard practice is for WPD involving crash circumstances Forget for a moment a City Councilor is involved. Here is an operator who collides with a parked vehicle, at midnight, leaving a restaurant

No official vote has been taken yet but 6 Councilors have already expressed they would be a “No” vote and we have more to speak This potential CRB is going nowhere and will be defeated if a vote is taken
Finally, after months of delay, the Administration is presenting their CRB informational item now
Impassioned comments from the jump. Speakers are united so far in their ask for a CRB. The line of speakers is still long
