He says this to a Council that has voted against urban boundary expansion. A council that wants to see agricultural activity in Hamilton. Do not threaten Council with a good time. #yhmcc
@JoeyColeman so all those years that I farmed and paid property taxes and income taxes .... well shit.
@JoeyColeman Glad someone else caught that! Certainly was an odd argument to make.
@JoeyColeman Did he actually pay attention to what he was saying?🤦♂️
