    Seriously. A memorial at the council meeting? how repulsive and disrespectful. they could have saved all that for his funeral. Still doesn’t change the fact that MR. Mays will ALWAYS be the peoples choice all over America. And that that council is only popular because of him and the Northward!! he was the righteous superior of a council of corrupt miserable incompetents! Mr. Mays was murdered no doubt. They’ve been planning it for a while. He’s gone and his treacherous enemies STILL are “ignant” and “nasty.” touching Eric cursed these people and their “secret society” members. No eternal justice for them.
    Thank you Mr. Mays, the world has only begun to get to know you. So many are beginning to avenge you. We will always love and remember you. #aplusisamust !

      The rest of the 5 meaning Ladel Lewis, Quincy Murphy, Judy Priestley, Candace Mushatt and Eva Worthing. Those 5 supported the suspension of Eric Mays because he shed light on their corruption and stealing ARPA funds.
      Eric passed away during his suspension while these 5 were busy filling up their pockets.
      I hope each of them melt in the afterlife.

    This is a lesson to us all, at some point put differences aside and show respect for the deceased. If they didn't get it right with him, they are among the living and will have to live with the guilt. Councilman Mays publically said he want to make it to heaven. Therefore, he held no grudges. He said what he said and moved on. Yet, there are still people in this world who hold on to stuff and mess while the other person is in peace and have a peace of mind.
