Rant: Saw my neighbor's name in a leaked report from the city council

I was just browsing through some public records last week and came across a leaked document about a local zoning fight. My neighbor Janet's name was right there, flagged as a whistleblower who reported a contractor for unsafe building practices. She didn't tell anyone about it, not even me. It got me thinking how many people out there are quietly putting their necks on the line without any fanfare. Her house has been egged twice since last month, and I wonder if that's connected. Do we really protect whistleblowers enough when they're just regular folks in small towns? Has anyone else seen someone they know end up in a situation like this?

Watching her get targeted really flipped my view on how invisible most bravery actually is.

Can't believe she actually risked everything to stand up for someone else like that.
