Bickering at City Hall Gets Councillor Kicked Out

Bickering in common council last night resulted in one city councilor being thrown out of the chamber. 

Discussion got heated when Councillor Bruce Court alleged councilors were suggesting more spending in closed session, then turning around and publicly pushing cuts at city hall. 

Councillors Donnie Snook felt the comments were directed at him, and took exception. He and Patty Higgins continued to interrupt Court until the Mayor stepped in.

Snook says it's not fair, since the Mayor interrupts councilors all the time

At the time, Snook declined to apologize for what the Mayor said was interference in the debate.
