The city gave the Flock representative around an hour to explain his side of the story but their own residents only 2 minutes each. I’ll use this opportunity to respond to the city’s presentation slide by slide. This is great to see. I wish every city would do this. It can be very difficult to…

If there’s one thing I’m thankful about this issue, it’s the people. Thank you to everyone how came out tonight. It was great to see everyone and hear everyone’s impassioned speeches. Thank you to all of the speakers and audience for being respectful. The Flock topic ran for nearly an hour and a half. The…

Speech to the city council on 7/28. Mayor, members of the Rolling Meadows City Council, thank you for your service and for being here tonight.
