as honorary mayor, relieved from his duties due to eating budget.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I think this is a really upsetting story because regardless
of what species this person, this thing is, it's a goat, right.
All politicians eat budgets. That's literally their entire job. So
if he did get fired and this is real, I'm
very upset, But I think it's probably real.

his desk and the goat was in there and it
ate all the papers for the budget.

Rufus.

They actually have staffers assigned to watch him and wait
to see if the document comes out one way or another.

Ew, come on, just as small as this town. What
I said, No, We're going to wait till it comes.

lot of money to some politicians eat budgets.

Jesus, that's so wrong.
Speaker 1 (06:08):

don't know, instructions on where to go. So people started
going to these shelters, and they didn't know for days
that people had actually gone to the shelters. Yeah, so
the people were in these shelters for days. They just
went and apparently got in.

to those shelters, I mean you had the whole town
to yourself for a hot.
