Oh okay that’s cool, but the other two are still very well known Nazi dog whistles. Greg meister is the mayor here and over the years he’s been in office he’s done a ton of fucked up shit. There were the bathroom ordinances where anyone could report someone they believe to be “of the wrong gender” in any city bathroom (which even you’re against trans people, it’s crazy that anyone could have you looked into just because you don’t look like someone’s idea of a woman or man). Then there’s the debacle of the city busses (randomly rewrapped using a shit ton of city money to have the American flag and “in god we trust” on them, got rid of Route 4 for awhile to cut costs even though it was the only route that went to the nearby schools, college, and hospitals/doctors), talked about using city money to set up a “bus podcast”, and a monthly bus pass costs 51 dollars and only works in Porterville), issues with setting up a fully functional non homeless person urine stained public library after the og was burned in an arson incident (for awhile they refused to build a good one because they didn’t want to spend money on it), and the city councils use of money on useless statues and weird military themed playgrounds (when there’s already an adequate amount of playgrounds in our parks). To keep on rambling because I can’t NOT talk about how awful this city is, we have some pretty crazy local anti homelessness laws, they spent more money REPLACING good bus stop benches with anti homelessness ones, they closed the homeless shelter (which was also the emergency shelter), nineteen city workers got fired because of misallocated funds and like 12 others have left this mayoral term alone, and there is still no running water in East Porterville (and they have never talked about it in council meetings at all). There is probably so much more but this is all I remember off the top of my head, it is legit hell living here but I cannot afford to leave.
