Speechless in Ruston

This comment is from a former council member who sat through many 'uncivil' meetings where members of the audience, including Bradley Huson, were shouting their disapproval...

SPEACHLESS IN RUSTON or SPEACHLESS NEAR SEATTLE - which do you think will sell better on the T-Shirts???as most of you know, i am rarely at a loss for words, but last nite takes the cake...or is it humbleing pie. by the time we peasants were going to be allowed our two moments in history, i could not think of any words longer than four letters to string together so i passed on taking a turn to address the 'cancel'.

THE IRONIC, HYPOCRISY OF dan and bradley THE LONGEST, LOUDEST AND MOST CONSISTENT ADDRESSERS OF PREVIOUS COUNCILS NOW ARE GAGGING THE PUBLIC.

way back when i was a councilmember, i thought taking the comments and even barbs from the public was part of the job. after all i was under the impression that i worked for the residents and got the big bucks for having the willingness to take what came and hopefully in the end do what was best for the town in my judgement. (even took an oath to that effect)

after not sleeping to well near seattle, the thought occurred to me at a little after 6AM that i should call all the 'cancel' members and ask to come over and chat with them or at least have some quality phone time. well, i didn't and will continue to TRY and take the higher road until forced off of it.

SIT BACK AND TAKE IT FOLKS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS NOW A SPECTATOR SPORT!
