Vern here, let me just step in on this RSM thing. I wrote about what Mayor Tony Beall said at the last meeting that he DEIGNED TO HOLD, and it was worse than that: He suggested that Renee Good brought on her killing by her own bad behavior. Then a lot of angry locals were going to show up to the next meeting and react to that (meanwhile Alex Pretti had also been murdered) and Tony cancelled that meeting. I wrote \u201cI bet he thinks RSM citizens will forget.\u201d Let\u2019s see if you-all do. Read \u201cIf Beall St. Could Shut Up\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n
