For $147k they could have hired a couple of teachers. Instead, they payed a race huckster company.
Sounds like they need a new city manager.
Unfortunately, for many people terms like communism and Marxism are meaningless because of the lack of education about those things in American schools. People don’t KNOW what both of those ideologies have wrought in history.
They are busy in Appalachia...the former City Manager of Asheville is now the city manager of Johnson City, TN...a pro-DEI group known as ‘Raftelis’ has been active in the Tri-Cities region...progs have infiltrated the aldermen in other smaller cities in these areas...
“their voices have not been heard, and we wanted to have a process where we did hear those voices.”
A nice bit of irony announcing that at a meeting with NO PUBLIC COMMENTS allowed.

So pony is $100k or more for a job where the person doesn’t have to do anything. Then they get their friends to teach a class for an insane fee and get a nice kickback.
Good work if you can get it.
We want their voices heard translates to we want an excuse to implement communism.
“and we wanted to have a process where we did hear those voices.”
They’re called Town Meetings. Look into it.
