So while we wait for the city council's trash hearing to start ... anyone know any good jokes?
One thing we'll be looking for is who exactly from the city will show up. We hear the mayor won't be, and neither the city lawyer, the cfo or any of her inner circle are expected to be at the hearing

Ramsey is up at the city presser. Says today is the beginning of debris pickup. Again stressing yall need to treat it like your personal business and not be puttin' it in the street
