Integrity Morals and Manners don’t have a Race or Political Party. They are qualities we do expect to find in our City Officials when we vote. Ms. Walker I voted for you. The day I saw your live feed I was Stunned Sickened and Ashamed of that Vote. As a parent and a member of a community you need to take responsibility for your children. Your kids are good kids. I remember when they would ride their bicycles thru traffic on 18th & Ast just as All the schools in the area were getting out. Now they have off road motorcycles. Im sure we can look forward to them driving Cars soon too. Heaven Help Us All. Mayor Thorpe Your actions and statements concerning this subject bring Your Integrity, Ethics and Intelligence into question also.
SHAME ON YOU SHAME ON BOTH OF YOU FOR BRINGING SHAME ONTO A WHOLE CITY. Its not to late to do the right thing.
Step down. Its the right thing to do. It is the only thing you should be allowed TO DO.

My comment was meant to fallow the story on Apd body cameras and or the Pod Cast Talk with former Mayor Don Freitas.. My apologies if I entered it incorrectly. But since Im here May I ask What happened to the endangered moth or plants found no where else in the world? Its the same area and what about the smelt? I have not read the full report but find it odd that the area behind the old dog pounds is basically Antioch secret Dump. The city almost has dumpsters all the way to GP /Domtar . THAT cant be good for the moth can it.
