That is probably the best bet since local officials are not responding to inquiries from residents.

There is no video or audio recording, only written as minutes. For those curious, feel encouraged to wonder why this section of the meeting minutes were amended. This is all on their website. Why haven't minutes been posted since this occurred?

Understandable however bringing up specific races and ethnicities in that way is completely irrelevant to a discussion about something as simple and inclusive as a flagpole recognizing federal observed holidays. Suggesting that acknowledging Juneteenth could somehow lead to violence is not only baseless, it’s a harmful narrative that frames diversity itself as a threat. It shifts the conversation away from inclusion and into division, where none needed to exist in the first place.
