The Conroe mayor is pushing back against new rules for public comments at city council meetings. He's basically saying he won't follow them, which could lead to some heated debates and uncertainty about how citizen voices will be heard.
At a glance
Declining — being discussed less frequently. 0 mentions in the last 30 days, 2 the 60 before.
It's unclear if this will cost taxpayers any money, but it could make meetings run longer and be less productive.
Honestly, nobody really benefits here, but maybe the mayor benefits from having more control over meeting discussions.
Citizens who want to speak at meetings might be harmed if the mayor ignores the new rules and cuts them off or doesn't let them speak.
