A Loose Cannon’s Agenda for next HUFF 2-6-25
Underlined links are for background reading. Many others items are really signposts & reminders of where we’d be going if and when we find the person power, time, interest, and resources. We are gathering information and evidence to challenge the Dominant (False)Police and City Manager Narrative. Organize! If anyone has questions, please raise them. AGENDA SUBJECT TO CHANGE; Though recent illness has blurred the schedule somewhat, I think this is Athena’s Loose Cannon’s time at bat. So she’ll be running the meeting with the usual outbursts from me.
