I remember when “Success 4 the Future” introduced this to Councilman Manzie & Dir. Henderson. My prayer is that we also will find a means to incorporate those who don’t qualify… thus (as originally proposed), preparing them for careers & to be contributing Citizens as well! Be holistic! Best wishes 2024 session!
How is the investigation going concerning the C.O.P's allegations? I'm betting they will be covered up ! 😡 Mobile lost a good man....the mayor is a POS !
Come on now Penn and Carroll? Nothing? And Barber just got up and told Reynolds what he was trying to say. You have all faith in him? We don't. It's no point in us even expecting true transparency. Even Reynolds knows that. Thats why he's pleading for someone else to be on the call. He knows he's partial and not trusted.
Why is he speaking?! How can someone who is part of those being investigated able to step innand explain what Councilman Reynolds is saying. Smh, this is why the public lacks trust. With all due respect Chief Barber should not even be speaking on the matter or trying to guide the narrative. Just stay back and let the investigation happen. We can't believe in your recommendations Reynolds. You literally just showed us your hand and whose side you're own when Chief Barber stepped up to explain what you mean. Please don't take his recommendations. Why are we speaking with local attorneys. Everybody knows no local lawyer will go against the city.
One other was the Kenyon Brown Report being used as a weapon. Kenyon Brown being brought in as a non-partial 3rd party, but at the same time serving on board with the Chief of Staff.
I thought the point of the 3rd party was to provide us with transparency. When you all are already trying so hard to control it or narrate it, it doesn't allow for the transparency desired.
I just noticed smalls left, so it's likely if they vote, she won't get the 5 votes. Reynolds is stuck on No for some undisclosed reason and Daves is right there with him. He is being so difficult...why? Everything you are pointing out, her neighbors have said is fine with them. I wonder if he wants to buy a property near by. Why is he so adamant? We all know he doesn't care about the general well-being in any other case.
Ma'am, Reynolds doesn't want to hear about her daycare. For some undisclosed reason, Reynolds wants her to purchase a property somewhere else in the district. He probably has a buddy that wants to profit from her getting a property somewhere else OR that wants to open a daycare in this area. I guarantee there's an underlying issue that he'll never admit to for why he's pushing against it so heavily. It's not because he so wants to do what's right for everyone.
Now Gina wants to talk and be polite. It depends on who she's talking to. Everybody votes, not just certain people. We already heard this excuse earlier with the housing. We're not impressed. Where can we find a list of where all funds go in each district?
So, Joel basically, we can speak as long as we're not speaking directly to you. We all know this is the only forum that the public can speak directly to the council. You ignore and can avoid other attempts to communicate. These meetings are the only means for the public to speak to you all. And even in this forum, several of you clearly refer not to listen. The way it sounds, I wouldn't be surprised if the Ethics Committee is assigned by the Mayor's office. I wouldn't be surprised either if the council has no idea how that process works. The public doesn't know and I'm sure it's by design. Our community needs to pay attention to these meetings. We all need to share these videos and have others share so we can be informed for 2025. Right now our city is truly perishing for a lack of knowledge.
How can you abandon your job when asked to leave and your grievances aren't heard? What was he supposed to do? Sounds like the Cheif was baited to act in one way or another and no matter what he did, it would have been used against him. If he took the silent deal, then he is complicit with the very corruption that he was trying to submit grievance about. Repeatedly, I think I heard the lawyer Woods say Mr. Stimpson could wake up and say he wants to terminate Chief Prine and would be within his rights to do so.
Sorry Councilman, but no. Did you not see the threatening document put before him? So, was he supposed to just resign and say nothing. GINA GREGORY ugh!! WOW! I hope someone runs against you.
Gina Gregory! Did y'all just holler at this man, elderly man. I am so shocked and disturbed. I understand that the pastor may have been off target, but you all are talking to people from behind that stand as if you too don't have to answer to God for how you talk to and treat people. Hollering and yelling, "Your time is up, have a seat!" Talk to people with a little respect. Where's the class. I'm just in disbelief. These videos need to be used during re-election time. It's obvious how comfortable the elected have become. And I hate the way you give the people three minutes, then attack everything they say if you choose or praise them if it fits your agenda, for an non-specific amount of time without any opportunity for the public to respond. This wouldn't be an issue if we could depend on our council person to speak up on their constituents behalves based on the heart and concerns of the people, but that seldom happens. Instead, you get a constant repeat of council slapping at and barking in unison at every comment they do not agree with or see as positive.
When did we vote in such a RUDE council! The audacity to talk to your constituents in such a nasty and condescending tone. Gina Gregory is our district person and I was just completely turned off. I don't care if he has come 20 million times. Isn't that what you all are paid for? I think more citizens need to watch these meetings. Most are probably like me and have no clue about how the council behaves on a regular basis.
The more you hear them talk, the more it sounds like corruption. They have so much unchecked power in this administration. It sounds like they are doing so much in the dark, we can only imagine. Thank you Councilman Carroll. It's nice for once to hear one person willing to speak up. Right Nobody knows WHEN THESE ACTIONS ARE DONE. It's on the website but NOBODY KNOWS IT'S THERE TO LOOK FOR IT OR WHEN IT'S POSTED. There are NO CHECKS AND BALANCES!
If the mayor appoints the board members, then the mayor and his administration DO play a huge part in the actions of the housing board. He appointed them. I don't understand how you all say things like this and think we're stupid. Y'all are playing games Ricardo. Come on now Stimpson and administration. Y'all went all the way around in a circle.
