He said the city “would find the money” if state money would not come through. Identical legislation is awaiting a vote from County […]
Picketing funerals is abhorrent, but I must admit that it irks me a bit when people overlook the fact that this hate group has been picketing the funerals of LGBTQ persons for years — they even picketed Mr. Rogers memorial service (I was there).
