So what is the ramification for violating the rules of order?

From Wikipedia:

Duncanville is a city in Dallas County, Texas (USA). Duncanville’s population was 36,081 at the 2000 census, and estimated at 42,500 in 2008. Duncanville is a suburb of Dallas and is part of the Best Southwest area, which includes Duncanville, Cedar Hill, DeSoto, and Lancaster. . . .

Duncanville is mentioned in UFO reports posted on several Web sites. These reports of unidentified flying objects date back to the early 1950s and continue into the 2000s. ...

A Cedar Ridge Drive resident regularly hosted large sex parties of more than 100 people featuring “Naked Twister” nights at his residence that was also nicknamed “The Cherry Pit”. In December 2007, City officials outlawed sex clubs in residences after neighbors complained of noise and traffic problems.

A somewhat strongly-worded letter from the parliamentarian.

Definitely. He seems like a perfect fit for Homeland Security.

not sure, but arrest is the ramification for not leaving voluntarily. which is what the patriot said he would not do.

FTA: Mayor Green had the audio of the city council video tape turned off as Brown dragged the councilman out of the chamber. Ford ended up hospitalized from injuries sustained during the arrest.

The mayor belongs in jail.
