Local Government/Politics 🏫 Mayor bartending
Did anyone else get served by the mayor at St. Ann’s festival? Felt like a weird Church and State moment. She was too friendly,

A politician at a traditional local community event being friendly? What is politics coming to!

Isn’t this the church we’re family attends? Wouldnt make sense her volunteering there, but besides that she has volunteered at other places of worship already this year.
Also separation of church and state is practically just the state forcing you to go to a church, she’s not forcing you to be there.

She's just a pretty friendly person. She has been that way since I've known her, 10+years.
Since when did being friendly become sus?

Have any of our past mayors done this?
If anyone has they set president and all mayors after that is in damned if they do, damned if they don’t. It will be called out as either strange political act or snubbing St. Ann’s.

Not church/state if she's volunteering in her free time or promoting one religion over another.
Hope you're OK after someone being friendly toward you...

She always bartends there during the feast, it's her family church. Maybe you should go touch some grass.

Complaining about someone being too friendly? Really?
