[RP TownTalk] Council Member Eric Olson April E-News Letter

[Don Lynch]

Who said my last name was Lynch?

Who have you been talking to? :)

The lack of any political discussion on this list concerns me.

There is a lot of change being proposed around town and no one is speaking 
up.

Maybe after the upcoming election we'll hear opinions.
