It is now apparent that the city's mayor is an illustration of the Peter Principle, in which a person rises above their competence level. His youth, lack of world experience and ideological proclivities have straight jacketed his modest intellectual capabilities.

Very happy Speaker Johnson moved the aid package for Ukraine ahead. Difficult for me to give him much credit for taking 6 months to develop enough moral courage. He finally acted evidently because he was able to get a deal from the D's to protect his speakership. Not because he couldn't sleep at night thinking of the hundreds of Ukrainians who were dying or the ground that Russia was retaking.

Great article on the trees and Ukraine aid. I thank Marie G-P for her support and was surprised to see Johnson come through on this funding. As for Longview City council, it’s now the blind leading the blind. This push for total control by the right-wing four will only hurt our city. Boudreau is making a serious mistake in trying to stifle half the city council members.
