Local Politics

For discussions of politics and politicians at the neighborhood, city, and county levels.

Notice

This section is for respectful discussions of local politics, politicians, and political issues.

Politics, by its nature, can be contentious. But that does not obligate you to act like a jerk in this political discussion area.

If you cannot engage in civilized discussion, you will no longer be allowed to post in this section.

You must have a minimum of 200 posts in other sections of HAIF in order to participate in this forum section.
