I often say to people that you must not confuse the BLM organization with the personal statement: When I say “Black Lives Matter,” I am referring to my sons, myself and my fellow brothers and sisters who have been victimized, marginalized, mistreated, criminalized and oppressed in the past and even now in the present. I cannot speak to the tenets of the BLM organization because I have no affiliation. I am Black, a Christian, a husband, a veteran, a dad, a son and a servant. Learn more

I think that property taxes are too high and in the midst of the present crisis the citizens should believe and know that their mayor is lobbying the county to adjust the rate lower. I believe that our voices matter when we stand united against such issues and we do that by speaking up and speaking out. The more we (city) work toward economic development the less of a tax burden the citizens should bear. Learn more
