...if serial-plaintiff Pilchesky comes to the podium and starts with his lawsuit nonsense, let him go...audience cheering and all...for his allotted time. Don't react, don't respond. When his time is up, ask him to step down. If he refuses, have Mr Tough-Guy escorted away from the podium by a police officer.
...if that f*&King moron Milo (or anyone else) comes to the podium with 30 year old 'Stop-n-Go' nonsense, ask them to take it to the District Attorney's office (or maybe even the Federal Attorney General). Don't get pissed, don't over react. If that's the best they got, then that says a lot about them.
...if Mr Hecky-Shecky (what does that mean, btw?) comes to the podium and starts with a rant about his current court case, remind him once that you will not discuss anything currently in litigation. If he persists, call him out of order and have him removed by "the man".
...if Fay 'Foam @ the Mouth' Franus starts asking you questions, ask her if a) Her rabies shots are up to date and b) If she wouldn't mind wearing the Elmer Fudd hat again. No, on second thought, don't ask her those things. Instead just let her ramble on. She is her own worst enemy.
Fay approaches the podium
Above all else, these cretins want nothing more than to disrupt the meeting, so don't give them the statisfaction. As is the case with most bold children, they thrive on attention, so give them as little as possible.

Ray is already on the list. Saw his name on it when I signed up to speak so I can ask Janet about Dave reading her emails. She better address it before I get to the podium. I don't see Judy saying I'm out of order. I can speak without being disruptive. No way Janet will sit there and ignore me - she'll have plenty to say about "the confusion and blind accusations regarding her email account."
Mrs. Gatelli should answer ALL of the legitimate questions, and give a measured response to any questions or statements which are out of bounds explaining why they are improper. Regardless of who is speaking (and I believe Ray Lyman should be prohibited just to save him some embarrassment), she is the council president.
The Olyphant Council and I fight all the time. No one sues anyone. In the end, they never listen, I keep on throwing numbers at them and accusing them of incompetence, and we all go home after the meeting on speaking terms.
That's why OlyphantDeceit.com doesn't get any hits. You're all way too civilized up the line there.
Apples and oranges, I'm sure, but these well mannered Olyphant council meetings aren't televised, are they? How do the elderly, handicapped, and shut-in residents participate, or know what's going on in your borough?
::::Mrs. Gatelli should answer ALL of the legitimate questions,:::
I would agree but the operative word here is legitimate, I haven't seen too many of those kinds of questions coming out of the goon's mouth. So based on past performances she won't have to answer too many questions.
:::::give a measured response to any questions or statements which are out of bounds explaining why they are improper.:::::
Sad that it would take a measured response to show why most of the nonsense brought up at the podium is inproper. If the attendees/viewers had half a brain it would be self-evident, but since most don't, it may be necessary.

Oh, we solved that. We just don't let them participate in government or tell them anything about the ordinances or fee schedules. But we have two nice plasma televisions so, if they can wheel themselves through the snow or rain and up the narrow ramp, they can watch the meeting from the first-floor conference room in isolated silence.
The site wouldn't be called "OlyphantDeceit". It would have to be "OlyphantBankrupt" because, due to the council's lack of vision and inability to plan ahead for changes in the commodity markets, they either sock the residents with a 45% increase in the electric bills (already triple PP&L rates) or they absorb the costs themselves and blow a million-dollar hole in the already-strained budget.

And the ACLU lets you get away with this, huh? I won't tell Joe if you don't.

Like the Quiet Room in the back of some churches,which allows the Mass to be celebrated without the interruption of crying babies? Damn that seperation of Church and State nonsense. Scranton desperately needs one of these Quiet Rooms.

So what do you think would happen if they made HBH Jan stay in a 'quiet" room.....would it be like the horrible event Scotty was always worried about if matter and antimatter finally met?
Hey Girl ... if you need it changed let me know ... that is one thing I do know how to do ... it will be a sad day if you do that though!
