An Open Letter To The Mayor...

This letter speaks volumes about the anger and frustration that is destined to boil over as the summer continues:

An open letter to the current Mayor of Richmond, are we still living in a Democracy?

This question arises, when one attends/watches our City Council meetings for quite some time and witness you "gableling down" everybody, who tries to express a different opinion then yours, whether it is a citizen or one of the council members.

Democracy means, the supreme power of government is vested in the people, not in the mayor, and not the mayor’s son, who attacked one of our most outspoken community leaders, who speaks for us, the people.

Things like that cannot and should not be swept under the rug, and I trust, that our new Chief of Police will do the right thing by having this incident investigated to the fullest.

TAZER NOTE: Inge brings up something interesting here: It does seem that Irma lacks the ability to allow some to speak. Granted, being the mayor does mean keeping the basic flow of a meeting going, but the spirit of her doing it appears to have some VERY nasty overtones, almost totalitarian or dictorial in nature. The Tazer wonders, is this something that the Chief can act on? Your comments are welcome.
