Would anyone be interested in forming a welcome committee for these folks?
…by now, this is no longer a ”proposal”. All of you go-along-to-get-along local “electeds” remember this in a couple of weeks when you invite Maura the Horror and Madam Wutin to your annual St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast/“White Problems” Roast.
Just make sure you save a few tables for your new neighbors/potential votes.
Great job, everyone. Great job.
