a chocolate factory in west reading, pa exploded which is very bad but I was reading an article and became arrested by:
“It’s pretty leveled, unfortunately, there’s not too much to be able to salvage from it,” Samantha Kaag, the mayor and a local firefighter told WPVI
mayor and local firefighter. I'm just picturing this woman going "hold up, there's a fire? not in my fucking town, i just got elected" and rolling over to put it out herself
alternatively it's an oxford comma situation, and the statement was delivered in unison by the mayor, a local firefighter, and some random passer-by named Samantha Kaag
