Question is, what motivated the insurance company to settle? Let's take a look!

Turned Away at the Door at Public Safety Review Committee
I know of at least 10 people who showed up to the Public Safety Review Committee to comment on the Mayor's sit/lie ordinance to kick people off the top of State St. if they are sitting or lying on the sidewalks at Veteran's Park. I stayed to find up what was up, here's all I can tell you.
