    Sorry for the council. It’s to late for them. They’ve already become assholes because of the pizza program.

    Atleast the people of the town stood up for the kids.

    Community members quickly mobilized to keep the program running. A local resident, Steve Verhey, launched a fundraiser that has already exceeded $2,000—well over the city’s original allocation. Verhey criticized the council’s decision and hoped that public funding might be restored in future budgets. “It should have continued to be funded by the city,” he told KNDO. “And after this next year, maybe the issue can be revisited.”
