In which meeting did she eject a senior citizen for asking a question? The audio is archived — we can go back to review it for ourselves. Assuming this actually happened as you say.
How convenient that the current mayor lives close to the newest park, yet refuses to even consider a new park on the east side of this city. The mayor voted against the senior exemption (supported by the Senior Board), knowing that some seniors are at the verge of loosing their homes. The mayor allowed the city manager to continue to take a huge salary when she was a council member. This mayor voted to increase fees for medical services without looking at the fees (the fee schedule was not available at the time of the vote). This mayor ejected a senior citizen of WUP from a meeting simply for asking a question. Clearly, this mayor does not support seniors in this city. We need a mayor responsive to each and every citizen, not just her favorites. We have two other choices for mayor. Let’s vote for someone who will serve the people, not themselves.
We need a new mayor! This mayor refuses citizens the right to speak. In my opinion, she is disrespectful to the male council members, discriminates among citizens as to who and how long they can speak. When a certain council member tries to speak, she cuts him off, cuts him down in a disrespectful tone of voice, rolls her eyes, and displays other signs of displeasure at what he says. How rude! The mayor doesn’t do her homework, then asks the volunteer citizens if THEY are satisfied with changes! She is easily frustrated, then lashes out at council members, and refuses basic rights to citizens. We need compassionate, knowledgeable, fiscally responsible leadership who is willing to work WITH taxpayers to resolve issues in this city, not just pass the work to others. Taxpayers deserve better.
