Hello,
This is Corey in Councilwoman Barber’s Stockbridge District 2. I speak now to your comments at the June 11 Stockbridge Ethics Board hearing. Particularly, the conversation found there after the 48 minute mark. Of course, in my opinion:
Just a quick note as re; Ms. Barber speaking in opposition at Planning Commission Meetings. She can speak in opposition if she’d like as any citizen inside or outside this district is allowed by their First Amendment rights. These are the same right’s that enable you to come ask for zoning use variance, from outside the county, for parties outside the County of Henry or City of Stockbridge. As to Barber recusing herself for the reason she once spoke in opposition to some issue.
Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do? She seems consistent in speech and deed. I find nothing in Stockbridge Municipal Ethics Code 3.30 or 2.40 to cause her to recuse herself. Rest assured, if I’d noticed an ethical violation I’d write a complaint against her as readily as I now support her. All I gather here is a corporate outsider in Yolanda Barber is keeping it grass roots & hard nosed.
I myself went to great lengths in court to secure my First Amendment rights. Perhaps you should read Randazzo vs. Fisher & Randazzo vs. Clowdus.
As re; the access to information in the ethics complaints at hand as of June 11, 2025 in Stockbridge City. Perhaps what you’re looking for is below. Or maybe you’d like to complain to the city over the speed with which they publish their Ethics Board results page.
Yeah. I never thought I’d be doing Federalist type writing either. But here we are…
