You are ok with Bagley yelling at people? Cool, cool, cool!


Who did she yell at?

There's also no way to run for school board after mid June. They close the race that's it. Believe me I thought of jumping in seeing how there was no competition, but you can't. That is a problem.

SMH. Did you even read the OP? Have you seen or been to any of the city council meetings? She yells at residents. Tells them she doesn't care what they have to say. She only cares about city staff not residents. She's so rude. Videos of all the city council meetings are on the cities website so go see for yourself. If you can even vote for a person like that...or vote not even knowing how she's operating....this is why this city sucks so bad. People just don't care and throw votes out for anyone with no research or insight of city council meetings at all.

Add Roy Bird. I had a good conversation with him last week and he is calm and reasonable. He brings some gravitas, too, along with brains

Given the demographics of the city - boomers in old town, affluent whites from 395 to Duke St and everyone else west of Quaker Lane, I don’t think many read DCUM.

+1. Also if for no other reason than some of these incumbents need to feel some heat.

Who did she yell at?


Just about anyone and everyone who voices an opinion that she doesn't agree with.

I've attended plenty of Council public hearings and events with the candidates during the primary. I've never seen her yell at anyone. She has strong opinions, but that's something to be expected from an elected official. The people who don't like her tend to be the people who think that "if my side has more people show up at the public hearing then Council should vote for our position" or "if a Councilman doesn't vote the way I want them to, they didn't listen to us."

You've got it wrong. She never says a word at a city council meetings. However, if you want to see her go off attend any civic association meeting in the city.

You can even here her saying she doesn't care what residents have to say in that linked candidate forum.
