From the City of Greensboro unedited:
In other words, the Mayor suffers from foot in mouth disease... Or worse. Here's a tip, Mr Mayor: Do something about the problems they keep speaking about and they'll have no reason to come back to council and repeat themselves. You know, like when you cleaned up your room the first time your mother told you to do so.
What's that? You never cleaned your own room? No wonder you don't understand.
"GREENSBORO, NC (April 26, 2013) – City of Greensboro Mayor Robbie Perkins has released the following statement regarding proposed changes to the speakers from the floor portion of City Council meetings:
“Speakers from the floor are an integral part of our City Council meetings. We currently allow two 30 minute periods per month for speakers to address Council on non-agenda items. Greensboro’s time allotment is double what the State of North Carolina requires of its municipal bodies. I want to reiterate that I believe in the RIGHT of Greensboro’s residents to speak freely to Council. That’s why one of the first changes I made as Mayor was to bring the speakers portion back to the beginning of Council meetings – and it will remain that way.
However, the acrimony and repetitiveness displayed by some speakers has been a growing concern of mine. Moving forward, any proposed changes will be fully discussed and voted on by the entire City Council in an effort to hear the concerns of residents that need our assistance.”
