Councilor calls out mayor for lack of accountability
During a recent council meeting, Councillor Amoral expressed frustration over the lack of participation from key administration officials, particularly in light of pressing issues facing the community. He highlighted that while he consistently engages with the council, other prominent figures, including Mayor Mitchell, have been noticeably absent from discussions, except during budget presentations.

Amoral emphasized the importance of the council chamber as a space for public discourse, referring to it as \"the people's house.\" He urged the mayor to take a more active role in addressing council members and the public, suggesting that a simple walk around the community could provide valuable insights into the issues at hand.

The meeting concluded with a series of motions, including one to table a discussion, which passed unanimously, and another motion to adjourn, also receiving unanimous support from the council members present. The proceedings underscored a call for greater accountability and engagement from the administration in local governance.
