Mary Weighs In On Adams Flap

Predictably, Mary Souza of OpenCDA.com is on Councilman Steve Adams side in the latest controversy ignited by Adams’ flipflop on the sewer plant expansion. She begins her latest newsletter:

“Disrespectful, unprofessional, confrontational and just flat out rude.”  That’s how CdA City councilman Steve Adams described the behavior of City Attorney Mike Gridley last night, because Mr. Gridley (pictured) called Steve an “ignorant shit”.  And the Mayor just sat there and said nothing. By law, the Mayor is charged with running the council meetings and, as such, she is responsible for the decorum and professionalism of the proceedings.  She should have told Mr. Gridley to keep his comments respectful, but instead she sat silent.  And she was also silent when Councilman Kennedy taunted Steve Adams by asking him if he’s an attorney. We do not have a respectful city government in Coeur d’Alene.” More here.
