Now what’s this I hear our ‘Friendliest Goddamn Town’ may be friendly but not too accommodating. So councilmembers reject Pride banners and painted crosswalks, leading to the usual accusations of all things, bigotry and the old tired wokeness nonsense?

Well that’s fantastic, councilmembers! The preference of shooting down the local Pride community’s excitement of being able to enjoy some recognition in Solvang rather than working out a compromise was just too good to pass up?

A small bit of advice for the leadership of Solvang. Whether you’re a conservative or liberal or anything in between, it’s your sworn duty to serve the whole community. Your obligations are to work together to solve problems without bias.
