That was just a bunch of local neighborhood meetings, and they were doing NOTHING but having meetings. It was a waste. I hope it's better now. We thought maybe they did that because we were seniors. We did not expect to be treated like that.

But that was then and that was here. I hope it's better out there now! Everywhere!
