We're wasting our time by going to meetings, he (Farris) does what he wants and the rest is a charade for the public. We're elected officials. They talk about power to the people, there is no such thing here.

We were elected to do a job and he's not allowing us to do that job. For instance, I'm the police commissioner and I'm not allowed to go to the police department. There is not another community in the country going through what we are going through under this dictatorship. This is very, very serious. We need help.
