Political junkie… got hooked on the Watergate trials as a jr in HS. Believe strongly in equality, fairness, kindness, the promise of America that we are still striving to achieve.

They took away Medicaid from my 82 year old mom. They don't answer the phone and when she showed up in person, they refused to talk to her and told her to go home and call them. She got her low income senior housing because she qualified for Medicaid.

You really have to watch this interview. The superintendent says that "concerns were passed on to me about the play." Who passed those concerns on? He won't say! What were the concerns? "You'd have to ask them." But who is them? He won't say!
