When I wrote last week of Shawn Nelson’s pension plan selection, I did not realize that what I had learned was only the tip of an iceberg. As this iceberg has melted (probably the result of global climate change) Shawn Nelson’s true character has become apparent.
I joined Chris Prevatt at the City Council meeting last night. What a different demeanor the Council had in regards to Public Comments.
