I will return again around 9:00 AM with a direct link to the youtube stream for Committee of the Whole Meeting.
Council has roll called in members. We can see the new stream via their youtube which is being streamed by @TV20Cleveland .
The audio is terrible. One can hear multiple people talking at once and a loud electronic buzz.
Turns out it was Council President Kevin Kelly and forgot t use the microphone. He has stated that they will keep the room limited to 23 people and under.
Nora Kelly is talking and a resident of Ward 17. “I’ve been fortunate to helping and form Clevelanders For Public Comments. … I want to provide a little window to our coalition.” https://t.co/5QEKvrM58x
Nora Kelly, “Despite multiple requests to President Kelly he has refused to meet with our group and has refused to acknowledge our groups.”
@Jesstrivisonno, a resident, is present and now talking, “It is flawed because it asks the Clerk to take on political decisions about the policy of public comment.” https://t.co/XDYOuVHYCk
