1 comment:
My neighbor lady attended the meeting wondering if this ANC is smoother. Said there are a some disruptive people in the audience and a couple on the commission. Said one lady took office then quit before the end because she didn't get her way. Was like a preschooler kid tossin toys...embarrassing...how she going to work with people that vote different and why she wasting community time with personal stuff. We are community aint we? Lose the insecurity and egos or step aside and let someone stable take over that can play well with others.
