I mean, who knows what she will cover; she did a fantastic job of calling attention to the water situation in Flint, MI a few years ago. But I'm sure Trump will be her primary focus, from what we've been told.

I'm sorry to hear Cape Girardeau is having such terrible problems. I don't understand how the city manager, mayor, and council don't have "time" to address it or why that would not be one of their highest priorities, if not the very highest. What a frustrating situarion.
