She is a joke
Howard has been a disappointment
It’s a shame that Mt Vernon can’t find the right leadership to fix this City. I lived in Mt Vernon all my life and it’s getting worse and worse.
Give shovels to all FF and Cops
If you ranked all of Mount Vernon’s problems, a snowstorm comes in around #87.
