Why are comments being removed by authors. I do not like the redacted status of this conversation right now. I also do not like "closed sessions." When I sat on a governing board we used them very sparingly. To the public closed sessions tend to reek of shadiness. And I do not blame them because as a member of the public on this issue I also detect the stench. It would be nice to be able to actually see the record of what is being sited by the representatives so the truth can ring free.

@robroy I removed comments that had anti-immigrant comments. Some of the others appear to be double posts or edits.

FWIW, I removed the posts (and I am the blogging Greenwald) due to the anti-immigrant tone. You can disagree with the Mayor without the pejoratives toward immigrants.

a rude public official is bad, but i think a lying public official is worse

If the others that were in the closed session won't speak up and validate Greenwald they should not be public servants.

Obviously what Sue is saying is not germane to the topic on the floor. She is far from bullying; rather she is having an all out tantrum and completely disrespecting any concept of parliamentary order. If the presiding officer tells you to be quiet.....and then you try to "APPEAL" the decision of the chair....and then everyone VOTES DOWN your appeal....shut the fuck up.

How many times have they said "ok"? I counted at least 20

[RWFBW]

Shouldn't be making motions in closed session anyway....

Yeah guys and you want to give that gender power for nuclear missiles...you guys are idiots............

I don't know why-but these city hall arguments always make me laugh

[blognewb]

This byotch is a bully like Bill O'Reilly. OK Ms. Mayor was lying, we get it, no need to raise your voice and pin it personally.

[Steviewonderhaterz]

That mayor is an example of corruption.

You know what I don't understand is how council members can have Laptop's to use for work (Paid for by tax payers, yet there are people loosing their jobs and people who have jobs but don't get the Luxury to have Laptop's. Yet Cities are going broke, this is the reason.
