MIDDLEBURY | The long-term prognosis for the health of Vermonters who work and play in the great outdoors isn’t good. A new message from the Vermont Department of Health indicates that in the coming years, we’ll have to pay a lot more attention to ticks and the growing list of diseases they carry, not just Lyme disease. Most often blamed on climate change, ticks are lingering longer into the autumn months and emerging earlier in spring here. “Ticks are back for one more meal before winter... this means a high risk to Vermonters in a year that already has a record rate of the tickborne disease anaplasmosis,” according to Bradley Tompkins, an infectious disease epidemiologist with the Vermont Health Department. Tompkins said up to Thanksgiving this year, people be prepared for tick bites. “We’re very concerned about the rate of anaplasmosis that we are seeing all over Vermont, and especially in the southern part of the state,” he said. » Ticks Cont. on pg. 9

Rutland man is Citizen Activist of the Year By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

RUTLAND | Don Chioffi, a retired Vermont state legislator, educator and Vietnam veteran, has been named “Citizen Activist of the Year” by Washington, D.C.-based ACT! for America. Chioffi, a resident of Rutland Town, co-led the formation of Rutland First, a coalition of local citizens opposed to lessthan-transparent efforts by Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras to resettle 100 Syrian refugees in the area starting in early 2016.

Under Chioffi’s leadership, Rutland First was credited for bringing the secretive refugee placement program to light, which ultimately resulted in the defeat of Louras on Town Meeting Day in March. Louras spearheaded the resettlement effort with support from the Obama administration and U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, among others. Another local group, Rutland Welcomes, worked with Louras to help refugees find housing and job opportunities. “It’s a tremendous honor to receive this award,” Chioffi said. “It was a humbling and surreal experience. For somebody that’s steeped in Vermont and the trees here, it’s tremendous. But I accepted the award not for myself but for Rutland First. There are several of us who are founding members.” Chioffi said the honor really recognizes

Rutland First for shining a light on the secret government program sprung by the mayor. The Rutland activist said he and other citizens became alarmed last year when they discovered the refugee program would have farreaching effects throughout Rutland County. Chioffi said the mayor knew about the resettlement plans six months before being forced to explain the action. “Mayor Louras didn’t tell the Board of Aldermen about this for six months. He had a responsibility to share this plan,” he said. “He was told to keep it quiet. Also, the board president was told to keep it quiet. Who was telling everyone to keep it quiet?

Panelists discuss race in Vermont By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

MANCHESTER | A community discussion about race issues in Vermont was held at Burr and Burton Academy (BBA), a private high school located in Manchester, Oct. 18. Panelists included both black and white social-justice activists. The panelists approached the open forum with sensitivity as well as calls for action in towns, businesses and schools across the state. Panelists included host Jonathan Fine of Move-On Manchester, Rep. Ruqaiyah “Kiah” Morris, D-Bennington 2-2, Tabitha Pohl-Moore of NAACP Rutland, BBA graduate Naomi Johnson, and social-justice and carbon tax activist Theo Talcott, also a BBA graduate. “We’re not here to have you talked to… We’d like this to be an open conversation about race, no matter what your race is. Speak your mind… Silence is not an option,” said Fine. “…And we don’t want to question the veracity of anyone’s experience in relation to race.” Rep. Ruqaiyah “Kiah” Morris, D-Bennington 2-2: “Our court system sends more (Bennington County) people of color to prison then any where else in the state… I have a young black son and I have concerns about what this means for our future and for our students…” “These are really complicated, difficult personal conversations to have,” said Rep. Morris. “They will shake you to your core, they will make you question things you thought you understood… (but) it’s what’s needed for transformative work.” Morris championed H. 308 (Act 54) in Montpelier creating Vermont’s Racial Disparities in the Criminal and Juvenile Justice System Advisory Panel. The bill, which passed both the House and Senate earlier this year, was signed into law by Gov. Phil Scott in May. The panel’s first report is expected to be completed early in 2018. “I was the first black woman elected to the Vermont legislature in almost 30 years,” she noted. “This is an important conversation because Bennington County is anecdotally considered to be the most racist county in the entire state. Our court system sends more (Bennington County) people of color to prison then any where else in the state… I have a young black son and I have concerns about what this means for our future and for our students… I want to say that not everything is alright on this beautiful campus or in this beautiful state.” » Race Panel Cont. on pg. 11

Adopt-A-Pet Halloween is a coming so don’t let your pet get spooked. Here are a few tips from the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) to make sure your pet stays safe and happy. Trick or Treaters showing up at the door may frighten all but the most sociable and easy going animals. If your pet doesn’t do well with surprises and commotion, keep her in a safe place during these hours. Chocolate can be harmful for pets so be sure to keep the candy bowl where Fido can’t reach it. If your dog ingests chocolate call your veterinarian for advice. Also to note, sugarless treats may contain Xylitol which is very toxic to pets. Costumes are fun and some pets love them and will ham it up. But many are stressed by being dressed up and stress can affect your pet’s health. If you do put a costume on your pet, make sure there aren’t items on it that can be chewed or torn off and swallowed. Finally, make sure your pet has ID. Trick or Treaters and parties mean the door will be opening often, giving your pet a chance to make a run for it. If your pet goes missing call the shelter at 483-6700 any time and we’ll do what we can to get you reunited as quickly as possible.

MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury College Professor Shalom Goldman will be the keynote speaker for the annual dinner meeting of the Henry Sheldon Museum on Wednesday, Nov. 1, being held at the Kirk Alumni Center, Middlebury College, 217 Golf Course Rd. in Middlebury. Cash bar opens at 5:30 p.m. with dinner at 6 p.m., followed by the presentation by Goldman. Goldman has entitled his remarks “The Devil Drivers” and will be sharing stories about 19th century Victorian scholars and adventurers Richard and Isabel Burton. Burton (1821-1890) and his wife Lady Isabel Burton (1831-1896) were peripatetic adventurers who traveled widely, researched extensively, and wrote about their experiences. Burton explored Africa and Asia, chronicling a wide variety of human behaviors (especially sexual practices). Lady Burton was also a writer and a publisher. Each of the Burtons produced their own versions of the Arabian Nights. As a professor of religion at Middlebury College, Goldman specializes in the relationships between Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Goldman has often linked popular music with religion: Johnny Cash and the Holy Land, Frank Sinatra in Israel, Leonard Cohen and the Hallelujah chorus, and Bob Dylan and American secular religion. “Devil

From the editor

21st century leadership starts locally Today, women’s clubs may be less visible nationally, but they are no less important especially locally. Following the Civil War, women’s clubs began supporting various social-welfare projects—which included school construction, public libraries and hospitals. A little known fact about Vermont’s women’s clubs such as Orwell’s 119-year-old Fortnightly Club: they were a real force in helping to establish nearly 75 percent of the state’s public libraries. When the Orwell Fortnightly Club organized in 1898, women’s service clubs existed as little more

than social outlets for college-educated women; they were a “union” for intelligent women who were otherwise shut out of taking leadership positions in a male-dominated society. In Vermont and elsewhere, women have assumed top leadership positions from business, and now, even 21st century college enrollments in Vermont reflect the amazing rise of women—they appear to be the new campus majority here. In many cases, women’s organizations have helped nurture young women to continue their education, even go on

to establish successful businesses. The Fortnightly Club in Orwell was founded with a dual purpose of providing “congenial associations for women” and ”building community resources and good will”. By all accounts, the Orwell club has exceeded those noble targets by a wide margin. The good women of Orwell’s Fortnightly Club are among the prime movers and shakers in shaping their community for the better. You never have to ask women to take on leadership roles; it comes naturally. -The Editor ■

By John McClaughry GUEST COLUMNIST

Free electricity from the Sun has been a dream for decades. Although solar photovoltaic cells have been used for 40 years in spacecraft, the growth of the solar PV industry began around 1990, spurred by concerns about global warming from fossil fuel combustion. Clean, green solar PV electricity can charge radios and cell phone batteries, but it’s challenged by powering a refrigerator or home freezer. That’s because sunlight is diffuse and intermittent. “Diffuse” means that the amount of direct sunlight that falls on a PV cell, even in a cloudless desert, is pretty weak. Overcoming the “diffuse” problem requires lots of collector area – full roof coverage for a home, or acres of solar panels for supporting the power grid. “Intermittent” means that most solar PV electricity is produced during six or eight hours of a cloudless day, and almost none with heavy overcast. The “intermittent” problem for a home or neighborhood system can be solved (at considerable cost) by battery storage, but solar PV can’t realistically power the grid. It can only augment baseload power generated by hydro, nuclear, geothermal, tidal, biomass or fossil fuels like coal, oil or natural gas. Beyond the political rhetoric about stopping climate change, the driver

for solar PV deployment is profit. And the fact is that, except for remote and unique locations, there would be precious little if any profit in solar PV were it not for the cornucopia of special benefits offered by the federal and state tax and regulatory laws. The big hitter is the 2005 solar investment tax credit of 30 percent of installed cost, used to offset the solar company’s income tax liability. When this credit was slated to expire at the end of 2016, the solar industry went into overdrive to postpone the deadline. It won a sixyear phase-out, ending in 2022. Vermont offers a parallel tax credit at 24 percent of the federal rate, plus exemption of solar equipment from the sales tax and from the education property tax. There are two major solar PV models. One is the large-scale solar farm. The other is the homestead “rooftop” or backyard system. The profit driver is net metering. This is a special deal where the solar installation inverts the DC electricity from the panels and runs it back through the utility meter, reducing the electric bill. The subsidy occurs when the homeowner is credited not at the wholesale generation price, but at the maybe 40 percent higher retail price. The net metering customer thus pays little or nothing toward the costs of maintaining the utility’s transmis-

sion and distribution systems, or its management. The other “ordinary” customers have to pay for that. A common solar industry deal is structured as a limited partnership. The partnership installs and owns the solar panels, claims the tax credit, sells the renewable energy credits, and routes the generous depreciation deductions to the partnership’s high income tax shelter-seeking partners. The homeowner enjoys net metering for a specified number of years, which under some circumstances can result in zero-cost electricity. When the partnership has pocketed the upfront tax credit and the declining depreciation for (typically) five years, the homeowner can buy the system for a nominal price, and own and maintain it thereafter. How important is net metering? The New York Times (July 26, 2013) quoted the executive director of the advocacy group Vote Solar as saying, “Net metering right now is the only way for customers to get value for their rooftop solar systems.” That is to say, unless taxpayers and other ratepayers can be made to cover the subsidies, homestead solar installation will be attractive only to those who are willing to spend their own money to display green energy virtue. The price of solar PV panels has dropped gratifyingly over the past

decade. But last month the International Trade Commission found that solar panels are being “imported in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury to the domestic industry.” The two plaintiff companies, one bankrupt and one insolvent, are urging President Donald Trump to impose a big tariff on imported panels, mainly from China. News of the petition caused a rush by speculators to stockpile panels before the price shoots up. A significantly higher price for panels, along with the disappearance of the investment tax credit in 2022, will dramatically change the economics of net metering deals, meaning that the solar boom may well peter out, except in off-grid locations. This would also seriously undercut Vermont’s (actually former Gov. Peter Shumlin’s) Comprehensive Energy Plan, which declares that 90 percent of all Vermont energy must come from renewables by 2050 (or else what?). That’s the risk solar PV entrepreneurs may be facing. If the higher price of panels and the declining investment tax credit undercut the viability of their business plans, expect the next phase: an urgent appeal for a taxpayer bailout for solar installers, to counter the government tariff bailout of the solar panel makers. - John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute.■

Two girls are Fresh Air friends for life By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

In the case of one Hinesburg family, the Bronsons, hosting a Fresh Air child is part of what the volunteer spirit is all about. During the summer just ended, the Bronsons welcomed Fresh Air child Keymani, 12, a resident of New York City, to their home. In just a few short weeks, the Fresh Air girl became a fast friend with young Elena Bronson and the two enjoyed

sharing experiences, stories, and horseback riding at Twitchell Hill Farm in West Cornwall. Having taken a few photographs of the two girls riding, the Bronsons decided to submit the images to the annual Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program Photo Contest. To the surprise of the Bronsons, as well as Elena and Keymani, the photos were selected as winners. All winners in the contest were selected from hundreds of photos submitted by volunteer host families along the East Coast and southern Canada. “The photos capture the memorable experiences our volunteer

host families shared with Fresh Air children this past summer,” according to Marion Sullivan of Vergennes. Sullivan has been a leader in bringing Fresh Air children to this part of Vermont. Photo categories were naturally summer-themed and included backyard fun, friendship, new experiences, exploring nature, swimming, at the beach and ice cream. The Bronson’s photos were selected as the winners in the backyard fun and new experiences categories, and features Keymani, swimming with her summer sister and horseback riding. If you’re interested in hosting a Fresh Air child next summer, contact Sullivan at 877-3028.■

Dinsmore honored for early education work From Staff & News Reports THE V ERMONT EAGLE

RUTLAND | Susan Densmore, human services instructor at Rutland County’s Stafford Technical Center, was honored at the annual conference of the Vermont Association for the Education of Young Children in Killington last week. Densmore has worked at Stafford Technical Center for over 25 years. Densmore was recognized specifically because she is an outstanding advocate for the field of early education. When Densmore received the award, the following reasons were sighted for the educator’s selection: Providing quality instruction for the tech students which links them

to the early childhood workforce including apprenticeship and coursework aligned with the Vermont Early Childhood Career Ladder and managing a high-quality child care/preschool program in which the tech students hone their on-the-job skills as part of their technical center experience. The Stafford Technical Center Preschool participates in Vermont’s program quality recognition system (STARS) and provides public preschool services and sharing information about the field of early education beyond those directly involved. An example of Densmore commitment occurs as part of student recognition events when she informs about 250 Stafford students and their instructors, that “early childhood education was not just fun and games. The work of an early childhood professional

is very important and challenging and requires significant knowledge and practice.” According to a fellow teacher, “Stafford Tech-

nical Center and Rutland County is indeed fortunate to have the professional commitment and advocacy of Susan Densmore. Her work has strengthened the field of early childhood education which is so important to children, families and the overall economy.” ■

Conclusion By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

MIDDLEBURY | It’s Halloween time and Vermont sure has its share of weird places with things that go bump in the night—from spooky hillside graveyards and abandoned cellar holes to a lake monster and those missing souls of the notorious Bennington Triangle. There are other obscure things, here, too. Among Vermont’s most popular authors, Joe Citro has made a successful professional career of cataloging and writing about the oddities of our Green Mountain State. With that said, the Eagle humbly submits here the final group of our weird “8” ball of unexplained phenomena which happened to tickle our fancy. We give credit to the original compilers at Onlyinyourstate.com; we also sincerely thank them for their assistance.

5. BURLINGTON’S SUBTERRANEAN MYSTERY

For more than a century, some residents of central Burlington have reported hearing an underground stream. Today, the phenomena can be heard—albeit rarely—rising from beneath the first floor of the Greater Burlington YMCA building on College Street. Researchers at Onlyinourstate.com believe they have a preliminary answer to the Queen City’s subterranean mystery. “It’s possible that the answer may come from the lost ravine which was once filled with garbage in the 1800s to create more land for developing.” The website researchers discovered an old map that shows, at the bottom of the now-buried ravine, a tributary of the Winooski River flowed into nearby Lake Champlain, at the place where Maple Street meets Perkins Pier today. “Perhaps the stream is still there despite the ravine being filled in over a century ago? Listen up next time you’re in those parts...,” they say.

Vermont’s master creepy storyteller Joe Citro is the author of the book “Weird Vermont”.

Anyone interested in bizarre, seemingly supernatural phenomena should recognize the name of Charles Fort. The famous writer-researcher, who died in 1932, compiled thousands of reports of weird events from across the nation and beyond. These astonishing happenings—such as rains of frogs and fish, even unexplained lights in the sky—are now termed “Fortean phenomena”, all in honor of Mr. Fort. Among Fort’s early reports—and most recently retold by Vermont author Joe Citro in “Green Mountains, Dark Tales”— concerns North Pownal resident Thomas Paddock in October 1874. According to Citro, Paddock experienced the rain of stones (neither hail nor meteorites) up close and personal at his farm. “Sometimes they strike the roof, over the peak, and roll off the other side,” according to a story by The Troy Press a few days after the shower. Following the report, various investigators visited Paddock’s farm to see the stones as the farmer had reported seeing the stones—from a few inches long to a boulder weighing 20 pounds—fall from the sky all around his spread. “Investigators are stumped,” reports Doug MacGowan of Historic Mysteries fame. He indicates that the North Pownal incident is only one among many such stories reported worldwide. “There has never been a conclusive solution to the problems (of rains of stones). On analysis, the stones turn out to be ordinary rocks easily found in the area of incident. Some have postulated that the stones may be swept up in tornadolike conditions, but often the rocks fall out of a clear sky.”

7. ORB OF THE VALLEY

Once again author Joe Citro, Vermont’s own master story teller of Fortean phenomena, has another weird occurrence to share: the Orb of the Valley. The orb, best seen at night, appears near the BakersfieldFairfield town line—in the remote, damp Lost Nation hills of Franklin County. Citro reports that—when seen—the orb, which is around the size of a basketball, hovers in low spots and looks like an eerie, glowing light. But by most accounts, the Orb of the Valley appears to be swamp gas, a kind of naturally occurring biogas composed of methane and hydrogen sulfide

gases formed by rotting vegetation.

8. THE VERMONT HUM

In Vermont’s remote Northeast Kingdom, residents of the small town of Newark have reported hearing a mysterious sound. Other towns in Vermont report similar hums, too. They mostly describe is as “the distant drone of an engine.” In the case of the Newark Hum, is it a phenomenon beyond our understanding or something that can be explained by mainstream science? While others may disagree, UVM environmental scientist Adrian J. Ivakhiv thinks he may have an answer. “Everything new under the sun begins as an anomaly; but not everything thought to be new is genuinely new,” he writes. “Everything new and anomalous, if studied in the right way, can be explained; but it may take years of creative trial and error before we know what that ‘right way’ is.” Ivakhiv has been fascinated by unexplained sounds such as the Newark Hum. “The anomaly I’ve become particularly interested in recently is one known by some as ‘the Hum’,” he writes on his UVM Immanence blog. “I’ve gotten particularly interested in the Hum because I’ve begun to notice it in various locations in and around Greensboro, Vt.... The Greensboro Hum—which I am the only person I know who has heard regularly—is an intermittent, foghorn-like drone at a frequency of about 60 Hz (cycles per second), which sounds like a low “B-natural” tone (slightly flattened) and which happens to be roughly the frequency of A.C. electrical currents in North America. The latter fact lends credibility to the hypothesis that this particular hum is related to some form of electrical current.” In conclusion, it’s clear that so called “unexplained phenomena” can, in fact, be explained. While appearing mysterious on the surface by talented writers like Joe Citro, there is more likely a rational, scientific explanations for the phenomena just presented, but only if we are willing to dig a little deeper. If you have an hypothesis to offer to explain one or all of the weird “8”, we’d love to hear from you. Just drop us a note at lou@addison-eagle.com.■

» Ticks Cont. from pg. 1 “...We have already exceeded last year’s case count.” Anaplasmosis, a nasty bacteria, attacks human red blood cells and is carried by the infected black-legged tick; yes, it’s the same nasty critter that transmits Lyme disease, babesiosis, Borrelia miyamotoi and Powassan virus. Cases of anaplasmosis has increased from only three cases in 2010 to 201 cases last year, This year, 2017, isn’t over yet but it’s expected to equal or surpass 2016’s number of cases. “These numbers mean it’s even more important to be on your guard,” Tompkins said. “It’s easy to think of ticks as a summer concern, but they are out in force right now. If you’ll be one of the many Vermonters enjoying the outdoors— hiking, doing yard work, or out hunting, especially deer, grouse and hare hunters who spend a lot of time pushing through thick brush—make sure you know how to avoid tick bites.” Thompson added that more than one-third of Vermonters reported to have anaplasmosis were sick enough to be hospitalized. ■

It’s World Series season and time to remember Vermont’s MLB star of old, Ray Lyle Fisher. If you drive along Court Street (Route 7) in Middlebury, you may have seen an historical marker at the intersection with Creek Road, on the lawn of Key Bank. The marker tells the story of Ray Fisher, local boy turned early-20th century baseball star. Fisher was born Oct. 8, 1887, at a now demolished farm located along Creek Road near today’s ACTR transportation center. Fisher spent a lot of time in Middlebury growing up and playing a variety of sports, especially his beloved baseball. The young Fisher demonstrated an early talent for sports while still a student at Middlebury High School and later Middlebury College; he excelled at playing baseball and football. Following college, in 1910, he was recruited by the up and coming New York Yankees. According to the Yankees, “Ray pitched in the major leagues for ten seasons, compiling a 100-94 record and 2.82 ERA.” In 1921 Fisher became baseball coach at the University of Michigan, where he coached for 38 seasons and won 15 Big Ten championships.” Later, Fisher was a respected coach where he spent summers at a camp on Lake Champlain and coaching in Vermont’s Northern League. The famous Yankee player died at age 95 on Nov. 3, 1982. For Vermont baseball fans, you can celebrate Addison County’s MLB star by purchasing an exact replica of the same 1910 Yankees cap Ray Fisher sported from licensed online sellers. Simply search for “1910 New York Yankees cap.” Batter up! ■

» Race Panel Cont. from pg. 1 Pohl-Moore said that she considers herself as both a Vermonter and a professional black woman. “I consider myself a seventh generation Vermonter… I was actually born on a military base in California when my mother was out there in the ’70s… but I grew up on my grandfather’s land here. He died in 2012 in the very house he was born in in 1914.” Pohl-Moore said that she first connected with panelists Fine and Johnson through NAACP Rutland member Duane Carleton’s documentary film, titled “Divided by Diversity.” The film, released in 2016, explores racism experienced by five black New York City student athletes attending a Catholic high school in Rutland. The incident divided the community and the film is a sore spot for some local residents. “It’s a big deal because the events in the film actually took place in Rutland; Duane couldn’t get it shown in Rutland before now… No one wanted to see the racism in this school as well as Burr and Burton where some of the racism against these students took place. It’s how racism looks here in Vermont,” she said. Pohl-Moore painted a dim picture for celebrating black identity in the state.

“Vermonters of color do not want to be here,” she said. “Some of us stay but a lot of us leave. Education prompted that… I had the typical high school experience but what was missing was any sort of reflection of my racial experience… When I was growing up my brother was the victim of a horrible hate crime. They brought people into our school to talk about it without regard to talk with me about it even though I was there when it happened… There were other experiences, too, like being followed out of the CVS, in the old Rutland mall, by the manager who asked me what were in my pockets—after I purchased something… It was time for me to go, to find myself. Vermont was not my home… Now I am (back) here doing education work. In every system it’s clear how we negate racial identity with kids.” Members of the audience asked questions and told stories about their own perceptions of race and racism in Vermont. Although the systemic causes of racism were elusive in the discussion, ideas were offered about how to teach race at home and especially in local schools. “We’re born in this skin, so it’s ok to talk about race as early as you can,” said Pohl-Moore. ■

In fact, she was exercising secret government control, saying we don’t want them to know this … until we’re ready because all kinds of people will come out of the woodwork. Well, guess what? All those people came out of the woodwork for the election in March and they gave her and others a message.” A five-term mayor with 10 years in office, Louras went down in defeat by the largest margin in Rutland’s history, garnering only 36 percent of the vote. Chioffi said he is not against immigration, being himself the product of Italian immigrants.

was interviewed after our petition of citizen signatures was rejected by Mayor Louras. … Only local radio talk show host Tim Philbin ever gave us a voice in the community.” Chioffi isn’t giving up the fight even as more refugees are coming to Rutland. Moreover, he said he is reserving judgement on new Rutland Mayor Dave Allaire’s longterm action related to the refugee program. “This refugee issue is not going away,” he said. “But it’s time to take a break. Even the mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire, has said ‘give us a break.’ We have enough outflow of money to take care of our own people after all these natural disasters. The refugee program is costing a fortune for social services and ESL language classes.” ■

He raised a family, all of whom are contributing to society. “He never took a dime’s worth of welfare; he became a citizen and pledged allegiance to the flag. Six of his nine boys served this country in the military. That’s immigration. This refugee program is a forced-welfare program for people who don’t want to assimilate. … I’m not worried about accepting them; I am worried about them accepting me.” Chioffi said while he hasn’t been threatened for his involvement with Rutland First, he has been personally maligned. “(We) got called un-American, racist, bigoted by our mayor. That’s pretty insulting,” he said. “Plus you can’t count on the mainstream media to give you a fair shake. I
