Council member faces backlash over controversial remarks
During a recent government meeting, Colleen Ingram raised significant concerns regarding the conduct of EDC Commissioner Gibbs and the council's handling of public criticism. Ingram criticized Gibbs for allegedly inciting harassment against the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) chair and a former co-chair, labeling his actions as inappropriate.

She specifically pointed out that the mayor's introduction of the agenda item suggested that Gibbs' behavior was a reaction to public criticism from his political group, PG Lives, which she deemed wrong. Ingram also expressed discontent with the council's response to constituents who voiced concerns about perceived conflicts of interest and inappropriate behavior among council members.

Ingram questioned the absence of comments from other EDC members regarding Gibbs and condemned the decision to retain him in his position, calling it misguided. Her remarks highlight ongoing tensions between the council and constituents, particularly around issues of accountability and transparency in local governance.
