This happened 4-14-2014 GORDON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) - Multiple people were kicked out, and the mayor adjourned Monday’s city council meeting early.
Council met with several big issues up for discussion, including an update on the city’s insurance situation and moving forward with paying the man who conducted the city’s financial audit.
However, about 30 minutes into the meeting, audience members started speaking out against Mayor Mary Whipple-Lue, something that’s become common in recent meetings.
The mayor started throwing people out. That’s when two ladies in the audience got into a verbal argument after one claimed the other was filming her.
By what authority does a mayor, who works for and serves at the pleasure of the taxpayers, exclude taxpayers from a public meeting?
