Search for a new Holy Grail is launched
Like her campaign, Democrat Mayor Donna Deegan’s transition committee report is heavily steeped in “inclusivity.” Whatever that is. “The Deegan Administration will be guided by the principle that every person should have a voice in City Hall and a seat at the table. Our culture will be an inclusive one where we encourage collaboration between […]

This would include the mayor and other liberal Democrats who have vowed to obliterate accurate history. Oddly, this comes […]
Information is slow to come from the police

In Request M360482-072723 I asked “Could I have the number of budgeted sworn, non-civilian, non-correctional officers for the years 2016 through 2020, please?” This is a question someone in the budget […]

It also is a city with one of the largest populations of veterans. As of last year, 142,111 civilians living in the metro area had a background […]

Now we believe we have discovered the truth behind the matter. It appears Eye “may” have been a victim of the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP). […]
