Reader says Forget it Mr. Mayor. You have set the tone with your horrible group of three, you guys are nasty and vindictive, way WAY worse than anyone who speaks up at meetings.
This thing stinks on so many levels.
1. The mayor has absolutely no right to tell us how to speak, unless of course threats are made or profanity is used. Other than that, we as US citizens can say what we want at public meetings.
2. We are not in kindergarten. We do not need to be told how to behave. This is so embarrassing for him, actually for all of us, to have our government “leader” telling us to go play nice in the sandbox.
3. He himself does not behave in a civil manner at all times, and even though he winds up being apologetic he will do it again and again and again. Some of the many examples of his uncivil behavior are listed in earlier posts on this thread.
4. The Deputy Mayor is a million times worse than the Mayor. He absolutely cannot keep his hot temper in check and he makes snide comments on a regular basis. He is everything that a leader, a public figure, should NOT be. He really is so much lower than the Mayor.
5. Councilwoman Hauck is, likewise, quite capable of spitting venom and sarcasm from the dais and she does it often.
All in all, this meeting is a ridiculous folly. Paul must want to posture as a great peacemaker, a world diplomat. Forget it Mr. Mayor. You have set the tone with your horrible group of three, you guys are nasty and vindictive, way WAY worse than anyone who speaks up at meetings.
