Giant acorns falling and trees turning brilliant yellows and reds are sure signs that winter is not far off. With winter will come snow, and with snow will come the usual snow-play crowds from off the Hill. These folks may not realize that our narrow two-lane roads are not a safe place for parking and…
One of the best pieces of advice I can give to people in an elected position is this: make decisions as if every single decision will end up on the front page of a newspaper. It is good practice. And yes, optics do matter. In my first Out Loud, I was very, very clear as…
