...hear me coming from a mile away wearing my jingle bell necklace during these next few weeks, at least commend me for my effort.

If, instead, they vote to allocate thousands of dollars to a concert while doing nothing to get the Malkin Athletic Complex renovated or to get 24-hour, universal card-key access, they're going to hear it from...
