  1. Remember when the Mayor of palmdale called all this Covid safety measures a bunch of baloney at a City Council meeting? Maybe he was only pandering to the anti vax freedom Coalition but they are on to him talking out of both sides of his mouth on this issue and publicly called him out and no longer support him. At any rate its bad leadership in a time of public safety.
