Mayor Kitty Piercy upon hearing the trespass citations would keep people from being able to attend City Council meetings (see today’s story about the recent free speech arrests) tells EW:
“You should know that it’s important to me for that all our community members can come to a City Council meeting. While I respect the county’s rights to make decisions regarding visitors to the county building, it’s not okay with me for them to determine who may attend or speak at a council meeting. I have asked staff to work with the county to ensure that no one is blocked from our council meetings by the county.”
