This was nothing but an attempt at intimidation. She knows this ordinance of hers will lose at the polls so she doesn’t want people to get to vote on it. She also doesn’t want preachers convincing their flock to vote against it.
It was much more than intimidation. It was retribution. She subpoenaed all of the pastors who started the petition drive. You can’t downplay the seriousness of this attack against our Constitutional rights.
She dropped the subpoenas after legal council for the pastors began litigation against Parker’s unlawful actions. She doesn’t have a leg to stand on in court, and with elections coming up, she didn’t want to continue to create more negative media coverage. Parker’s hoping this all goes away. I don’t think it will.
