"Isnt Judge Powers going to be a Judge anymore?"

Noah Powers is still a judge. His dad is Noah Powers. Judge Noah Powers is Noah Powers II and the Oath of Office thing is his son, Noah Powers III, who has been hired by the city for a position. A "close knit" family with a "special" circle of friends, that city building is ehh?

I am surprised that the S. Main St lights aren't declared "an emergency" like everything else is. Also surprised someone on council hasn't asked that it be read only once to get 'em installed quicker. This cannot wait. The lights are for the S. Main St. Kohlers and old Lar and Momma Mulligan of the S. Main St. Mulligans. Prominent citizens of Middletown with special priviledges, don't cha know. We, the people, should feel a sense of pride for contributing to their comfort and safety. I know I do.
