[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I applaud Amy Jackson for speaking up and at least bringing this issue up.  I feel like any backlash by other council members is ill placed and at least she listened to citizens and tried to do something vs. the rest just pretending that everyone is biking...

She was disrespectful to other council members and the public in springing something at 11PM with no advance warning.  Even CM Chapman, who supported keeping Seminary four lanes, had to reprimand her for that.   She is not being collegial or working jointly with her colleagues.  In keeping with the bitterness, conspiracy talk, and lies of her online supporters on FB. Which cannot be pleasing to CM Chapman.  Nor really, to anyone in the City who wants the Council to function - including lots of people and institutions with no interest in Seminary either way.

Couldn't disagree more. She was very polite given the circumstances and broke no official protocol or process. The only person behaving rudely was the mayor with his exaggerated and dramatic sighs, moans, and antics.

For the record, the first person to use "conspiracy theory" in this was Aguirre. And for that I thank him. It gives us more ammunition to use to highlight how out of touch he and the mayor are.

Your bike lanes are going bye-bye.

Get ready.

She used a technical piece of the City code to justify her introducing it.  It was technically not out of order, but as CM Chapman (who OPPOSED the road diet) had to explain to her, it was rude and uncollegial.

If her behavior was justified, then you have a problem with CM Chapman. Are you going to try to remove him from Council too?

As for conspiracy theory, anyone who has read your FB group knows exactly what he means.   He is 100% correct and its about time you are called out for it.  [/quote]
