Oh. Just, oh.“Speakers from the floor are an integral part of our City Council meetings. We currently allow two 30 minute periods per month for speakers to address Council on non-agenda items. Greensboro’s time allotment is double what the State of North Carolina requires of its municipal bodies. I want to reiterate that I believe in the RIGHT of Greensboro’s residents to speak freely to Council. That’s why one of the first changes I made as Mayor was to bring the speakers portion back to the beginning of Council meetings – and it will remain that way."However, the acrimony and repetitiveness displayed by some speakers has been a growing concern of mine. Moving forward, any proposed changes will be fully discussed and voted on by the entire City Council in an effort to hear the concerns of residents that need our assistance.”
Have a nice weekend.
The people reply.

ReplyDeleteKing George III felt the same way too.
Off with his head!
ReplyDeleteThe mayor has spoken against free speech at city council meetings during his tenure. In both incidences, he was personally criticized by speakers. What are the chances any local for profit news outlet will report it?
