“My comments today are addressed to the mayor only. So I expect only the mayor to answer. How do you allow a sitting councilman to yell and scream at this other councilman and nothing gets done? At last week’s meeting, a resident–remember, a resident, during his three minutes of public comment, was interrupted multiple times by a sitting councilman and the mayor, all the mayor did [he pounds the podium three times] with his gavel. That didn’t work too well. I want to know if anything is going to be done, not only to this council person, but any councilman in the future. If you’re–if you Mayor are not familiar with your rights as a mayor, I’m quite sure that the Vice Mayor, as well as Councilman Klufas can advise you as to what you can and cannot do. Because I know as a resident, that if I yelled and screamed and ranted and raved, that man right there is going to escort me out that door. Why am I going to be treated any different than any other council person who was disrespectful and loud. I don’t understand why everyone else gets treated different than sitting Council. And I don’t think that’s right. So, since I’m the only one that got up this morning. Maybe somebody either now or later, can explain to me why I’m different. All these people are different, than all of you. I don’t understand why. We may not agree–well, I may not agree with any comments that any of you make. But, here’s the big but: I may not agree with what you say or what you do. But I will always respect and defend your rights to say it. So that’s all I got to say this week.”
-—Robin McDonald, addressing the Palm Coast City Council on Tuesday, Oct. 12, in reference to Councilman Ed Danko’s outbursts last week. Listen to McDonald’s full audio here.
