Coming to Inglis
At the April 13
meeting of the Inglis com-
mission we heard the first
about new rules changes at town meet-
ings: Resolution R2-10 Ref Meeting Pro-
cedures (Mayor Lake). It made me realize
that many citizens are being paralyzed not

ployment but by taxes, assessments and
franchise fees by a town government and
that rules are now being made to silence
the public.

chomp away at freedom of speech. The
Resolution creates new rules for the town
commission to handle the public’s busi-
ness in an orderly and dignified manner.
The presiding officer will be
in control of all meetings. The the town
commission MAY (not Shall) designate a
