PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
President Wilshire
Again we have a three minute limit so if you could keep your comments to three minutes. Paula Johnson. Mrs.
Johnson.
Alderman Jette
She said she needs to be unmuted.
President Wilshire
OH | didn’t hear her sorry.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
She is on mute.
President Wilshire
You are unmuted Paula Johnson.
Paula Johnson Thank you again for allowing me to speak. | am a little bit concerned here with the vote that the
Mayor is going to get the chance to tell people who can and cannot come into City Hall. Again | am speaking for
myself as a taxpayer of this City. It is really sad that we are going to restrict people again to come in and out of
City Hall because we the people own the building, we the people pay for that building and we the people are
being restricted again. I’d like to know how many hours a week the Mayor is actually in the building and when he
is in the building. You call and leave messages but he’s going to restrict the people from coming in. I’d like to
thank Alderman Clemons for coming forward with this. | thank you so much but we the people have put up with a
lot this year with these masks. Yes, there are going to be people who need to wear masks and there’s people
who don’t want to wear masks or people who can’t wear masks because of health reasons. And to again, say to
us in public buildings, these are our buildings we own it with our taxes, we have been paying a lot in taxes this
year we are seeing our taxes go up again and yet you are telling us, the public when we can and cannot come
into this building and that we have to wear masks to come into the building. Shame on all of you. The control is
out of control. Thank you very much.
