Chris Pratt’s ‘Common Sense’ Petition Backfires as City Council Votes to Remove Parking Spots for Bike Lanes—Now He’s Suing the Mayor
Just when you thought the guy from Parks and Rec couldn’t get any more controversial, our local “celebrity” Chris Pratt is at it again. I saw him at the town hall meeting last night, and let me tell you, it was a circus. He actually stood up and called our city council members “out of touch” for approving those bike lanes that took away all our downtown parking. I was right behind him, and he said the quiet part out loud: “This is just common sense—we need places to park, not more bike racks that nobody uses!” But here’s the real kicker: after the vote failed, he’s now threatening to sue the mayor for “wasting taxpayer money on woke infrastructure.” Meanwhile, my neighbor’s kid can’t even find a spot to park for his after-school job. I’ve lived here for 40 years, and I’ve never seen anything like it. Someone tell Chris to stick to acting, because this “common sense” crusade is just making us look like a bunch of entitled whiners. The city’s response? They called his antics “a publicity stunt.” Classic.
