The @CityofWheeling held its third #CityCouncil meeting today, Tuesday, February 7, 2023, at 5:30 PM. This thread details what I witnessed. I reported on the meeting as a citizen journalist, and I am using @BlackByGodWV @FolkReporters thread guide to compose this!

First, in my estimation there were roughly 30 people in attendance, including members of the public, city government officials, and media. Apart from myself there was no masking. There appeared to me no COVID-19 safety precautions in place, there was space for some distancing

It's been almost five months for those in NE #yyc impacted by the June hailstorm.

Can you imagine experiencing a cold Calgary winter with broken windows? Watching your damaged siding deteriorate further?

For those in #Ward5 waiting on repairs, this is reality.

I brought forward a second motion to Council to provide additional relief to Northeast residents who are struggling, through no fault of their own, to repair and replace their damaged property.

It is unfortunate that #yyccc - the level of government with the least financial capacity - are the only ones willing to act in support of our Northeast communities.

As elected officials in #yyc, we will not abdicate our responsibility to those in need.

@GreyhoundBus Over the past year—thanks to the support of @councilofdc—OAG has devoted new resources to protecting the environment and the health and safety of DC residents.
@GreyhoundBus @councilofdc We have filed lawsuits to:

One way to make DC safer is to try innovative ideas to stop violence.

This week OAG announced an expansion of our violence interruption program called #CuretheStreets. This program treats violence like a disease and works to interrupt it, treat it, and stop it from spreading.
#CuretheStreets will be expanding to four new locations that experience high levels of violence:

@FarSECollab (operating two sites in #Ward8)
@ACM_DC (operating one site in #Ward7)
✅Father Factor Inc. (operating one in #Ward5)
@FarSECollab @ACM_DC The specific locations of the new sites will be announced in the coming weeks.
