Congratulations to the City Commission

Try Netta's!  Good food, right prices, really nice atmosphere!

City meetings have now degenerated into a screeching madhouse with the mayor apparently being indifferent to maintaining order.  Perhaps he didn't have the right instructions from the shadow mayor.
However, that's what tends to happen when you plant  loud supporters in the audience.
"We love our commission!"  Indeed.
No, we don't.
"We want our town back!"
Yes, we do.
Citizens may legally be ejected from a city meeting if they cause a serious disruption.  In this case, the meeting was totally out of order while the commission appeared to be unconcerned and sat and giggled and twiddled their thumbs.  It's not only the mayor's job it's his duty to enforce order before things get out of control.  Instead, the police chief was ordered to remove some of the audience.
As might be expected in the current tyrannical atmosphere of city government, certain citizens seemed to be targeted for removal from the meeting while others remained to screech.
However if the city commission is allowed to selectively eject people who disagree with them while their supporters remain, that's prejudicial and we will have been illegally deprived of our right to assemble and the open meetings act will have been compromised---again.
Have any of these people ever even heard of  Robert's Rules of Order?
Oh, wait;  silly me.  That's just a piece of paper like the city charter and the Constitution, isn't it?

3. Who sits in city meetings and deliberately shows his disrespect  by smirking and snickering when people are trying to talk?
(That's just bad manners, dude)
