"Whoever is in charge of the (City Council) agenda has a right and responsibility to organize it so people are heard in an open and accountable way. If you come steamed up about something, you ought to be heard." Linda Pall said this in The Lewiston Tribune on Oct. 22, Page 1C.
I laughed out loud at that quote. At a Conditional Use Hearing on Aug. 2, 2016, Linda Pall shut down high school Student Body President Preston Evans after just 30 seconds. Here's the video: goo.gl/Lf76C9.
However, if Pall agrees with your position, she'll let you drone on forever. See her handling of Ross Coats later the same night: goo.gl/A6qoUp.
In that night's vote, only Linda Pall voted no. Her prejudices were on display from the get-go, as was her handling of people who represented the position she opposed.
If Linda Pall agrees with you, she'll let you talk forever. If she disagrees with you, she'll shut you down in a heartbeat.
If Moscowans really want everyone's position heard, and not just this mayoral candidate's approved positions, they will not vote for Linda Pall.
