I’ve sent two letters requesting a meeting with the Mayor and creator of the LIEs program with the intention of roping him or his partner into the line of questioning. With a figure, at worst, they might respond with violence to myself and show a hand of desperation for mere questions.

I’m sorry to say what they’ve sent me back is not heartening, but they offered to have me send my questions in…which’s far less than ideal.
