Her response:
"The comments from the staff meeting on May 21 were and are my personal opinions and thoughts as guaranteed to me by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
It is unfortunate that a former member of my District 9 Council team betrayed the trust of my staff members and me.
I will fight, I will always fight for our freedom of speech especially in a private setting. I plan to hold a press conference this week to address this issue."
Good for her.
