23. Mills Zoom Town Hall

Thu Mar 26, 2026, 08:03 AM

Thursday

Watch Mill’s town hall from last week on YouTube! She’s a grumpy ole politician who doesn’t want to be told she’s wrong or needs to do better! She’s Aloof and indifferent to any feedback to the point of discomfort. As the viewer it was like watching a slow motion wreck. Multiple people in the zoom town hall told her that her first pol add against Plantner was divisive and would only help Collin’s. I’m pro working class, not perfect, know how to admit when I make a mistake then move forward. We all have said regrettable things we wish we had never uttered. She’s got baggage too!
