During the council comments segment, Reverend Milton expressed gratitude for the council's work over the past two years, emphasizing the importance of listening to community concerns. He noted that while outcomes may not always seem favorable, the council should take pride in their fair approach.
Council member Mister Moody took the opportunity to address personal attacks he has faced, announcing plans to file a defamation lawsuit against those who have spread false information about him. He expressed disappointment over the lack of retraction or apology from the parties involved, stating, \"If you don't like a vote I take, come after me. But when you come after my professional reputation, it's game on.\"
Other council members, including Mister Darby and Mister Pryor, voiced their support for Moody, condemning the negative treatment he received and emphasizing that public servants should not endure such behavior. The meeting concluded with a call for a more respectful political discourse, highlighting the challenges faced by council members as they navigate their roles while balancing personal lives.
