May 25

when I was on the council and mayor and in charge of environmental affairs for the county.
Implied death threats "You may found in the trunk of an abandoned car." or "We can't be responsible for what may happen to your children."

I held my ground - yeah I was fired and harassed by fellow council members. Many 4 to 1 votes.
However, I can look at myself in the mirror.
