If you would like to come express your opinion on these cameras collecting your data, now is the time.

Please keep in mind that the Troy City Council is doing it's best to hear the community. They have drafted this code to establish regulation and have filed an article 78 to vacate Mayor Mantello's local emergency declaration in her attempt to circumvent proper legislation.

I've made it about halfway through the book and I think I need to add this to my DNF list. It's fairly well written and I really tried to push through the feeling that Henry is grooming Claire, but after the comment on her 'newly minted' hips and breasts at 13 I think I need to walk away. I love the idea of a time travel romance, but this one just feels like pedophilia with extra steps.
