Subject: Stifling dissent
Madame Mayor:
Just wanted you to know what's being done by this city in the name of the mayor, the council and the rest of the
administration.
For THREE months now, I've gone around the town and reviewed tree -removal applications; it takes more than a few
hours.
Then, when I try to give input, something mysteriously happens and I can't.
When I confront Megan Wilbanks about it, she says, "Push star 6" and, when I do, the message says, "the moderator has
muted this conference and you cannot be unmuted".
This is a violation of the First Amendment clear and simple.
And, by the way, since I couldn't comment, the chair of the committee (I don't know his name) took the opportunity to
make snide comments about me.
Nice, huh?
Do you even CARE about what happens to dissent in this city?
