VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS
Gus Who
I have three items that I would like to bring up quickly, two are videos. One video is on
Lynn Avenue showing traffic and there is no sidewalk and lacks lighting along the street which is
a safety issue. I talked to Alexa, Town staff, about the upcoming increase water bills and
surcharge of 12% on top of the 33% increase and I want people to be aware. The other clip I am
sharing is around the election and there being fraud. There appears to be a second shooter
based on this video from the dark web. One person with a rifle walks out and walks away, then
another person comes out with a rifle, leans the rifle against the railing, then the previous
person comes back and takes the rifle that was leaning, but looks around like he is doing it
sneakily.

Thank you very much for the support of the Town. It is due to various reasons such as

going earlier. Apologies for the delay. We hope now we are able to start the projects if the
permits get re-issued.
