Wheeling's only official skyscraper, the Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Building, has seen estimated restoration costs rise from $21 million to $48 million, to which the audience gasped. @MayorWheeling and members of Council traveled to Canton, OH, to meet with developers

So sorry for the delayed thread— a dear friend who is leaving town came to say goodbye. We hadn’t spoken for a couple months and they are moving from Wheeling! Really care for this person and wanted to spend as much time with them as possible.
Please SHARE parts of that thread. Many important stories that shouldn’t be buried! The nastiness of this council meeting was unlike anything I had seen. Personal attacks against any Councilor should not be accepted.
No comment from citizens. Wanted comment from the Counsilors but many left immediately— unusual for most post-adjournments and likely due to C’s rant. Pretty sure her and her friends said something about me as I walked out. Probably because I busted out laughing when C spoke

I WILL BE GOING OUT OF CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER. Spiciest stuff first. Before we start- 1) security checks were held, 2) @MayorWheeling was absent, 3) out of the three meetings I’ve reported on not ONE has had full attendance of the #citycouncil. Roughly 20 citizens in attendance
2/15
A Resolution to Re-Affirm the civil rights of Wheeling residents was offered. This is in response to the WV Leg passing HB 3042, RFRA. Councilor @benseidler spoke in opposition, upset that the resolution was “dropped in our laps” 24 hours ago.

I noticed this when East Palestine train derailment happened- an influx of right-wing conspiracy theorists. That’s when I first heard of “smart cities.” This is the comment section of a recent “RAW Alerts” tweet. The account attracts many of these conspiracies. ImageImageImageImage
Some very suspect things happening on this platform, as we’re all aware. Not sure what we do to combat such viral misinformation and conspiracy web spinning. In my opinion this is a bad omen
This account posts a lot of stories that don’t receive coverage, but it’s also clearly a hot bed for right-wing agitators. How any new source claiming to be reputable would allow these conspiracies to flourish without putting a statement out in opposition is beyond me.
