Salem News: Twisting the Rules


Published by THE SALEM (MA) NEWS 03/19/2011. A major outrage happened when during a meeting of the City Council, The fellow here, Steve Pinto, invoked a little-used council rule that basically prevented THE MAYOR OF THE CITY from speaking or having any say whatsoever during/towards the outcome of the meeting.. That Mr. Pinto is politically opposed to Mayor Driscoll on some issues should come as no surprize.
Giving one person enough power to basically stifle ANY opposition or dissent-ESPECIALLY if it may effect the citizens is NOT a good idea. Steps to prevent that in the futire are going to be considered. (But will they be PASSED?)
