Michael Boutwell challenges city council on free speech rights
During a recent government meeting, Megan was sworn in as a new member of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, expressing her eagerness to serve the community. The council acknowledged her commitment and encouraged others to apply for available commissions and boards.

The meeting also included a discussion about the removal of an agenda item due to the absence of individuals who were to present a proclamation. This item will be addressed in a future meeting.

Public comments were made by Michael Boutwell, a resident of Brighton, who raised concerns regarding his perceived infringement of First Amendment rights due to a reduction in speaking time from five minutes to three. He criticized the city’s reverse osmosis plant, labeling it a \"Ponzi scheme,\" and expressed frustration over issues related to eminent domain affecting his property. Boutwell's remarks highlighted ongoing tensions between residents and city officials regarding local governance and infrastructure projects.
