Maybe if you're an elected official in a room with all the people directly impacted by your policy and they say it sucks, you are, in fact, the dumb one
@bruceharrell ❌ FALSE: The only reason people came out for public comment was because of disinformation and “fear mongering” that EDI funds would be frozen or taken away. ✅ TRUE: COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE NOT DUMB.

BIG UPDATE: CM Rivera's proposal to block $25.3 million in equitable development initiative funding is dead (for now). But, the fight isn't over. This proves the budget for programs like EDI are on the chopping block this year. Stay engaged here: https://t.co/d2Bp67fXPY.
