Civil-Rights Lawsuits Keep Piling Up
| Case | What Happened | Clowncil Action |
|---|---|---|
| Cuypers v. Taylor | DoorDash driver tased. | “We’ll review.” |
| Brown Deposition | SPD brass grilled. | “We’ll study.” |
| Lerette v. City | Lactating officer tracked. | “We’ll webinar.” |
Three federal suits, zero city-wide re-training. HR’s latest brainstorm? A mindfulness lunch-and-learn.
Lead Pipes Flow, Grants Go
Council rejected free federal cash to replace toxic lines—paperwork “too hard.” Kids still sip metal tea while golf-course turf enjoys $4 million in crystal-clear irrigation. Priorities!
DIY Alley Paving—Bring Your Checkbook
Want a smooth alley? The city says get your neighbors together, pass the hat, and pay Public Works to blacktop it. Infrastructure now runs on GoFundMe vibes.
HR = “Haphazardly Rostered”
No bias, de-escalation, or open-meetings refreshers. Maybe outsource HR to someone who can spell Title VII without Google.
Forefather Reality Check
“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.” — Thomas Jefferson
Translation: If City Hall won’t fix itself, voters will.
Mic-Drop
Civil-rights payouts, poisoned taps, crowd-funded alleys, and an HR office asleep at the switch. Outsource the training, pave the streets on city dime, replace the pipes, and maybe the next settlement check won’t need a comma.
