(46,436 posts)We're trying. We just elected a new Democratic mayor who is making inclusion a big part of his vision for the city. It's so refreshing after six years of conservative Mayor Sullivan, who actually vetoed an equal rights ordinance that our Assembly passed in 2012. That won't be happening the next time it comes around.
You should have told me you were here, we could have met up somewhere.

Didn't stop me from going to the REI three times! Or Middle Way Cafe twice!

I've never been out to Nome in the summer. How was it?

(34,582 posts)I am going to visit your state. I will probably have to do it twice- once in the summer, once in the winter (I want to see the Northern Lights in person before I die)

A big congratulations on your new Mayor.
