[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this how public gov meetings are run? It doesn't seem democratic.

They seemed to arbitrarily give some people more time and others less time and the one head guy repeatedly interrupted people he did not agree with. They would give public commenters 30 seconds but then the head guy after that would make comments that were longer than 30 seconds on those comments.

The chairman/bully was a textbook example of white male privilege holding a gavel (or in this case, the zoom mute button when he wasn't demanding help with figuring out zoom).  His treatment of the woman from GDS was when he was at his absolute worst.  She couldn't get five words out without him interrupting her with some rant.  It is hard to call it anything less than bullying, and given that he was at least somewhat less out of control with the two other (white men) people from GDS, it certainly came across as beyond just being rude and bullying.

And the second ANC member, when she was finally allowed to say anything---almost 90 minutes into the hearing--seemed to be running a shakedown operation that another ANC member then joined.  She was basically demanding that GDS turn over its tuition money from 50 students to "the community."  Totally bizarre and lawless.

That portion of the meeting was really difficult to watch. It gave me a really great impression of GDS leadership though. I was impressed how poised the GDS side remained through all those interactions.[/quote]

Poised? They didn’t give any answers or explanations.  They sang the party line which only frustrated the ANC more. None of this is new. They should have has some sort of solution to present to the ANC. [/quote]
