Public Budget Hearing called “an offline conversation” by Alexander

[00:00.000 –> 00:25.300] Point of order. Point of order. We’ve gone on now for 10 minutes. This is an offline conversation that can be had with the treasurer or the city manager in a group message instead of us sitting here listening to a document A, B, and C.
[00:25.300 –> 00:38.380] The public is fully unaware of pretty much probably 90% of what we’re talking about. Why don’t you just set up a meeting with, why don’t we just have a separate meeting where we can finish what we’re doing.

Pardon my French. That’s one of the stupidest fucking things to ever leave the mouth of any councilperson in the history of people. Earlier in the meeting Gantt says she’ll set up a secret meeting too. Nevermind the police chief, city manager, them, you, me and everyone she’d address a budget issue with is in the room at the PUBLIC Budget Hearing. Later, she goes on to say she doesn’t want a dog and pony show. Well, if only the dog and the pony are at the meeting, I guess it won’t be much of a show for anyone but y’all two.

Kyle Berry seems to have a brain in his head thus far. Barber is doing what many of us would do. For her district and at large.

Now, I will agree the public doesn’t know 90% of what you do. But we’ll get around to what you’re actually doing with Mr. Sylvain early next week.
