According to morning radio host John Oliver, an unidentified Marshall County Council member made contact with WTCA to complain about the discussion last week between myself, John Oliver, and Tony Ross concerning the new public comment rules during council meetings.

During this mornings talk show, I called back in to clarify my position on the issue and to also challenge the unidentified council member to explain the decision to eliminate public participation until the end of the meeting.  This is a question of accountability. I’ve clearly stated my position on the radio, on this blog site, and on the WTCA speak out comment section. Time will tell if the council members have enough respect for the public to go on the record and be held accountable for their actions.

The Marshall County Council cannot handle being questioned and challenged.  Rather than engage the public in an open conversation, they have decided to end the dialogue completely. This is not representation by any stretch of the imagination.
