Both according to her.

Ruined Leon's take on this was priceless.

I wonder if this investigative department is out of Springfield, or if it is all Chicago staffed, based, and ideology?

I’ll have to as well. I haven’t seen it in ages and I think it’s hilarious.

You’ve seen the part past the credits, right?

Probably, but it’s not coming to mind. All the more reason to rewatch it.

Have you seen Gentlemen Broncos, done by many of the same people?

I have not seen Gentlemen Broncos, but I just read a synopsis and am adding that to my watch list.

We discovered the “past the credits” part of Napoleon Dynamite by accident. I was visiting my high school BFF (we’re like sisters) and her husband in the DC area. I hadn’t seen ND yet, so we got a pizza and some cannoli from a local pizzeria and rented the movie. We watched the movie and ate the pizza. When the movie ended, my BFF got up to get the cannoli while her husband and I chatted as the credits rolled. Then…surprise! There was more movie. My friends hadn’t known about it either. It’s pretty funny, too.

I have no idea.

I would think that a state investigative agency would be centered in the state capital but when a city dominates a state like Illinois there is no telling.

But you can bet that any investigators that the FBI sends would come out of Chicago.

I hope it's on my copy.

I got a second copy of Nirvana’s Nevermind, years ago, and there’s an extra song on it...after a pause of several minutes. Scared the hell out of me when it kicked in at high volume.

unanimously voted to open a probe into Henyard,


https://ballotpedia.org/Mayor-council_government

As of 2011, 33 percent of cities in the United States used mayor-council government in one of its various incarnations (see Figure 1), according to the International City/County Management Association. This was a 20 percentage point drop from 1981, when 53 percent of municipalities used a mayor-council government system. Approximately 59 percent of cities used the council-manager government system and another 6 percent used a town meeting system in 2011.[15][16][17][18]

SECTION 4. VETO POWERS OF THE MAYOR.
Every ordinance or resolution of the Council shall be attested by the Clerk of the Council and promptly presented to the Mayor for consideration before it goes into effect. If the Mayor approves such legislation he shall sign it and file it with the Clerk. The Mayor may approve or disapprove the whole or any part of any item of an ordinance appropriating money, but otherwise his approval or disapproval shall be addressed to the entire ordinance or resolution. If he disapproves it or any item of it he shall file it with written notice of the disapproval with the Clerk. Unless an ordinance or resolution is filed with the Clerk with written notice of disapproval within ten days after its passage by the Council, it shall take effect as though the Mayor had signed it. When the Mayor has disapproved an ordinance or resolution or item of it as herein provided, the Council may, at its next regular meeting thereafter, reconsider it, and if upon such reconsideration the ordinance, resolution or item is approved by five or more members of the Council, it shall take effect notwithstanding the disapproval of the Mayor. Notwithstanding the foregoing set forth in this Section 4, any Ordinance adopted by Council to certify an initiative to the Board of Elections shall not require the signature of the Mayor and the Mayor shall have no veto power regarding such Ordinance. The signature of the Mayor shall not be required on any Ordinance adopted by Council certifying an initiative to the Board of Elections to be placed on the ballot for consideration by the electors of the City.


So all she did is delay the investigation?

Is it “men afraid of strong women” this time, or “racism”?

Rest assured, it will be both.
